Pakistan Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has sparked debate after warning that a united, frustrated youth movement could "overturn everything," borrowing the term "cockroaches" from India's recent youth-led protests. Speaking about Pakistan's worsening economic challenges, Naqvi acknowledged the country's mounting debt, governance failures, and limited opportunities for young people, admitting that the system has "collapsed." He urged authorities to address rising public frustration instead of relying on more borrowing. His remarks reflect growing concern that economic hardship and youth discontent could trigger widespread unrest, drawing comparisons with recent protest movements in neighbouring India. (PC: AP)
