This statement came in response to a tweet by a journalist, highlighting concerns over the involvement of government workers in vandalizing government installations during protests.

Khan's call for strict measures aims to hold accountable those engaged in actions deemed detrimental to the state's interests.

He believes that individuals participating in such activities should face consequences, including the suspension of their salaries and pensions.

Additionally, he proposed denying "clearance certificates" to unemployed individuals, further discouraging potential misconduct.
