The European Union has passed a resolution against Pakistan. It called Pakistan an extremist country and recommended sanctions.
The resolution was passed in response to the TLP's recent
violent protests against France. During the session, footage of killing people
and burning property was presented in Pakistan.
In the resolution, the French representatives even said that
there is so much hatred against France in Pakistan that the police who tried to
stop the violence were killed by calling them "agents of France".
The second argument was that such demonstrations did not take place in any other Muslim country in the world, ie this is not a problem of the Muslim Ummah. Extremism is found in Pakistan itself.
All the European countries participated in this session and
681 votes were cast in favor of imposing sanctions on Pakistan while only 3
votes were cast against it.
Such an overwhelming majority means that the whole of Europe has sided with France.
Imran Khan had expressed the same concern and said that we
will resolve this issue on the diplomatic front like the Dutch issue.
But here the Malawians were adamant that we should burn the cars and end the relationship.
Now there will be a test of faith of all Malawis and
Pakistanis.
Because of the sanctions under consideration
Eliminate tax exemptions for Pakistani products,
After which you can't sell there
Consideration is being given to banning remittances to Pakistan from all European countries - and to impose travel and visa restrictions on Pakistan.
What will this do-?
About 45% of Pakistan's total labor force is involved in
textiles. That is millions of Pakistanis. And Europe is their biggest buyer.
Pakistanis feed their children by sending products worth
about 7 billion or Rs. 1150 billion to Europe.
2.2 million Pakistanis work all
over Europe. Who send 3 billion or Rs. 450 billion annually to their homes. If
these restrictions are imposed, we will have to prepare ourselves to eat grass.
