The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Monday said some politicians are poisoning the investment atmosphere in the country for their personal interests. The economy is not being allowed to recover because of continuous protests which are regrettable, it said. The country cannot afford political instability and chaos but those who want to grab power are blind to these realities, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President of PEW. He said that failed politicians are bent on making the country a wasteland as development is impossible in such a situation. Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that due to the increase in political temperature, the government could not focus on social welfare and the country is sinking into problems.

The politics of conflict and protest have caused great damage to the country's economy, the people have been suffering from constant inflation, while some politicians are trying to gain power at any cost which is regrettable, he observed. Dr. Mughal said that the country's economy cannot afford more protests, but some elements are sabotaging the development process under a well-thought-out plan against which legal action should not be delayed. He said that the politicians who see the government as a collection of flaws should not forget what they did during their government.
