Imran Khan’s son, Qasim Khan, has called on the European Union to revoke Pakistan’s GSP+ status.

Efforts to have Pakistan’s GSP+ status withdrawn amount to open economic sabotage.

At a time when Pakistan’s economy is going through a fragile phase of recovery, any attempt to undermine external trade concessions is effectively a direct attack on national interests.

The appeal by Imran Khan’s sons to lobby for the removal of Pakistan’s GSP+ status is not only irresponsible, but also an act that prioritizes personal political interests over the economic survival of millions.

GSP+ is not a symbolic concession; it supports key export sectors, ensures large-scale employment, and forms the foundation of Pakistan’s access to European markets.

Using it as a tool of political pressure to secure relief for an individual from legal proceedings crosses every moral, political, and national boundary. Such actions cannot be presented as dissent or democratic expression.

In reality, this appears to be a calculated move to internationalize domestic political conflicts, thereby putting Pakistan’s economic stability, global reputation, and future at stake.

This is not opposition politics—it is outright economic sabotage. No state can tolerate elements that attempt to use foreign powers against their own country in pursuit of personal interests.
