Naya Pakistan Promises - Final Year Report (Dawn)

Naya Pakistan Promises - Final Year Report

This was published in Dawn today. Incredible accomplishments! Makes me sad that most of this will come to a grinding halt under SS.

This is for anyone who says, "Imran Khan talks big, but hasn't done anything", or something ridiculous like, "Show me one thing that Imran Khan has done while in power".

Honestly, I'm surprised Dawn published this.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story starts here

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf pledged that once in government, it will carry out sweeping reforms for the country’s welfare. As the government took the reins, Dawn.com began monitoring progress on major promises from the party's 2018 election manifesto, as well as other important pledges made in the course of its term.

The promises that were picked for tracking were specific and tangible, and were thus preferred over more broad and abstract ones, where progress could not be gauged accurately.

This page has been updated annually by Dawn.com across the government's tenure, which came to an end through a no-trust motion against Imran Khan in the National Assembly. As a result, the PTI government's term lasted for a period of three years, seven months and 23 days.

Even if Dawn praises Imran Khan's policies and governance. It is a still a cancer media outlet/newspaper.

Just recently, Dawn published a paid magazine/editorial to boast Sindh govt "achievements" -- 64 pages of BS, wtf

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bxULLbq-_-moqQ0d9QRQIj0tI0yHjjkq/view

While 6 children and woman burned to death in interior Sindh, Dadu. Not a single fire extinguisher or rescue service reach the spot.

Eight children, woman perish in Dadu fire tragedy

SUKKUR: Eight children and a woman on Tuesday were killed in a fire incident, which also saw more than 50 houses reduced to ashes, in village Faiz Muhammad Chandio, Mehar Taluka, Khairpur Nathan...

Few days later, today:

Then another blaze happened in Dadu, 20 houses burned, animals died, people became homeless

Dadu villagers brave yet another blaze without govt help

At least 20 thatched houses and valuable property, including livestock and grain, reduced to ashes; no fire truck sent to site.

PPP's Sindh government is cancer.

It's such a shame the govt didn't start on the few promises at the bottom. They were all good options and some of them were easy wins too.

its amazing to see how much was actually done. Click on each promise to see the actual levels of progress.

And to think that he was able to accomplish all this with a minority govt, with threats from allies, a pandemic, global inflation, historically high oil prices, severe restrictions from IMF, a hostile judiciary, Afghanistan, threats from TLP, and many other challenges.

Of course I agree that Dawn has been a leading voice against the IK government, and does not even pretend to be fair and balanced. But I found this story they published to be enlightening. I am not saying that Dawn is a good paper - just that this particular story is good.

Crooked/paid journalism deals more damage to your nation, compared to an enemy whose firing artillery cannons at you.

Dawn openly allows, anti-Pakistan, Islamophobic comments on their news articles. Meanwhile, comments from patriotic Pakistanis are censored and rejected.

90% comments on Dawn are from Indians.

Just because you don’t like something, it doesn’t mean you want it shut down for all. Just stick to corrupt lifafa journalists and channels like Ary, Shakir Sabar and Imran Teetar.

When I initially saw this back in Aug 2018 I was happy that our newspapers will hold the politicians to account. Just looking at the list at that time was daunting and two of Ik biggest achievements - managing COVID with world best response and avoiding nuclear holocaust with India in 2019 are not even there. Also Pakistans national security policy was an amazing thing to do for us as a nation. Its a living document which can change but gives our country direction. Truly remarkable achievements by this gov in only 3.5 years. Many of the partially complete are really complete 10 M jobs they are on track even though at the time this looked the most absurd to me. Secondary school stipends for girls are happening so don't know why that isn't complete. (any other gov done more for our womens rights?) Others like the SNC which was done should also be complete including madrassa reforms. Daimer Basha also seems to be on track, as well as other dams including smaller ones in Balochistan.

The issue that I have is that I want every gov to be held to account for its failures like dawn is with PTI. This is how media could help move our country forward. I am seeing Mehtab Haider ShaBaz Rana and other journalists explaining so nice that tough times are coming, prices will go up because of commodity prices. None of that was done for IK, at 100 days they were saying what's going on no tabdeeli, rupee gonna crash. Maybe explain to the people the value of a free float exchange rate, they most politically expensive thing but the BEST thing IK could have done for Pak which would cause inflation. This would have happened even without Daronomics destroying us but obviously made worse because of it. This free float allowed the gov to build up some reserves, keep REER less than 100 and really is the reason why businesses are expanding to export more (along with given electricity at regional prices, FBR refunds automation etc). If the thieves even keep just that, the natural potential of Pakistan can come out and shine with exports growth.

I agree, we shouldn't want to shut them down. We should try to reform them.

By the way, do you believe a PMLN government would have done better? Would they have accomplished more, given the same kinds of geo-economic and geo-political challenges?

 

[mulj]

Impressive score of fullfilled promises even if you put it in context of so called first world countries politics.
Hopefully his party will come back in power ASAP to finish rest of it.

So out of 50 odd things PTI promised only 3 were completed, no wonder the PA kicked him out.
