The United States has expressed concern over the Pakistani government’s decision to ban Imran Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller voiced apprehension during a press briefing about potential restrictions on PTI by the government.

We have observed public statements from the government regarding potential restrictions on PTI,” Miller stated. “Banning a political party would be of great concern to us. We advocate for respect for democratic principles and people’s fundamental rights, which are essential not only in Pakistan but also globally.

Miller reiterated the US stance against political violence, affirming, “We abhor political violence in any country, including Pakistan, and have consistently condemned it. We support the rule of law and democratic processes in Pakistan and worldwide.”

When asked about the recent Supreme Court decision in favor of PTI, Miller underscored US support for constitutional processes and democratic norms. “We support the peaceful upholding of constitutional and democratic principles, including respect for human rights and freedom of expression,” he commented.
