Islamabad: Former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry has expressed deep concern over the rising political temperature in Pakistan, stressing the urgent need to cool down the situation. He warned that the country’s major economic sectors—including industry, real estate, and services—have been severely affected by ongoing political instability.
In a statement posted on X, Fawad Chaudhry wrote that Pakistan’s authorities must take immediate and decisive steps to reduce political tensions. He highlighted that inflation—particularly a 200% rise in essential commodities—has pushed the middle class to the brink, making daily life increasingly unbearable and driving many to consider emigration.
Pakistan’s authorities must urgently lower political temperatures. Industry, real estate, and services are all suffering; inflation (up to 200% increase in essentials) is crushing every household, making life impossible for the middle class and driving mass emigration desires.…

He further emphasized that overseas Pakistanis are unwilling to invest even a single rupee in an environment marked by volatility and hostility. According to him, the persistent liquidity crisis will not improve until confidence is restored in the economy and governance.
Fawad Chaudhry urged the government to initiate serious negotiations with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to de-escalate the political crisis. He said political stability is the only way to revive investor confidence, strengthen economic activity, and ease the burden on citizens.
As Fawad Chaudhry’s warning echoes across the political landscape, the question remains: will the government respond with meaningful action, or will Pakistan continue to struggle under the weight of instability? Only timely dialogue and responsible leadership can pull the nation back from the brink.
