3 February, 2025;The Pakistan government is facing significant challenges, largely due to a combination of political instability, economic difficulties, and rising terrorist activity. A think tank reported that there was a sharp rise in terrorist attacks in Pakistan in January 2025, with an increase of 42 percent compared to the previous month. This uptick in violence has added to the country’s already precarious situation.
However, terrorism is just one of the many factors contributing to the crisis. The political landscape in Pakistan is also deeply affected by former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his party, which continue to oppose the Shehbaz Sharif-led government. Khan’s political influence and his party’s position against the current administration have led to heightened tensions, further complicating governance.
In addition to political unrest, Pakistan is grappling with economic challenges, particularly the devaluation of the Pakistani rupee against the dollar. This has fueled inflation and worsened the economic crisis, making life even more difficult for the population. The convergence of these factors—terrorism, political instability, and economic hardship—has placed the Pakistani government under immense pressure, threatening its ability to maintain control and stability.
