Being a hardcore PTI fan since 2009, I was extremely disappointed in Imran Khan during his first 2 yrs. From letting Tareen remove Asad Umar as Finance Minister to allowing Nawaz Sharif travel abroad, nothing was going his way. I can list 100 other chawlian that he did but that's for another time. But ever since COVID, I think the tides have turned. I'm hearing many goods news coming out of Pakistan which was strange as I had lost all hope after 2 yrs. I'm going to list below a few of those good news which in my opinion will shape how we progress as a nation 5/10/20 yrs down. Then i'll list some of the mistakes he's making in his governance and what should be done about it in my opinion. Being an overseas Pakistani myself, I want people living there give their honest opinions if they can sense this too and see any substantial tabdeeli on the ground coz we all know how manipulated the mainstream media is. Also feel free to disagree with my list below and tell me why so maybe I learn something new.
PTI Govt's great initiatives/Successes:
) Dams - This was much needed. Without building more dams, we were going to run out of safe quality drinking water after a decade according to some survey I read.
) Promoting made in Pakistan - Khan has appointed a special assistant named Jamshed Cheema a few months back to promote made in Pakistan brand. You can see the details in this video (
). This program is already up and running. Making products in home will be a huge economic booster in the coming years as imports will fall.
) Foreign Policy - Khan has emerged as a world leader since he became PM. Explaining Islamophobia to the Goras, Taking lead on climate change, Afghanistan issue and so on.
) Free Healthcare - KP is functional and Punjab soon
) One education stream, Kamyab Jawan, Ehsas Program, Panah Gahen, Cracking down on Land Mafia, PM Portal, NCOC for COVID, Home Mortgage and other loans for middle class, giving Kisans their fair share, the list is huge.
PTI Govt's Failures:
) Lack of Reforms - There is still so much messed up about Pakistan which needs to be fixed and reforms are not being done.
) Not highlighting their good work and only talking about opposition all day. I don't understand why all the federal ministers are obsessed with opposition. They should come in talk shows to talk about their performance and what is being done and what to expect in the near future from their ministries. Instead our talk shows are total nonsense tu chor tu daku crap.
) Bad team selection
) Corruption - Sadly corruption still exists in all Govt Institutions
) No Rule of Law for powerful people and so on
) PTI needs to fix electricity issues asap. Any country that has load shedding cannot prosper period. In the coming years majority of work will be online and having reliable power is a must if you want to compete with the world.
I think if he can improve on these failures, there is a good chance he comes back for a second term and I am getting excited about it. Because all his good initiatives now will start bearing fruits in his next term and then we would be able to grow even more as a nation. Thoughts?
