CM Buzdar sees no logic in opposition's protest.

LAHORE -- Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Sunday said there was no logic in opposition's protest call in the present situation.

'Pakistan is facing internal and external challenges. There is no reason for indulging in protest politics in current circumstances,' he said in a statement, adding it was need of the hour to unite the nation.

Calling for unity in the nation to pay off country's enormous debt, the chief minister maintained that political powers were also under heavy obligation to return this debt. 'It is need of the hour to move forward with sagacity rather than showing unnecessary emotions,' he said.

He said he believed that the country could not progress by adopting politics of unrest. 'Negative politics will have to be done away with in order to attain progress and prosperity of the nation,' he said, adding that the only way to achieve progress was to maintain stability, integrity and unity.
