PMIK Interview on Al-Jazeera with Ola Al-Fares

seems like staged questions and we heard these answers... we heard all these lectures and speeches. Let's be fair, in the past 3 years, he FAILED to do anything. Everyone knows you can't change things overnight but you at least start from somewhere. He failed to execute any single person in his party because of complexity in the parliament (seats) system, he failed to do anything so far. On the ground, PTI further destroyED Pakistan's economy because of the mess/mismanagement his govt has created. Its hard to roll back trust me. Every nation is corrupt, everywhere corruption is there but you to do something, you have to control from somewhere. He failed in that sofar. People need practical things, not speeches. Our system is core to corrupt but he should've been starting from somewhere 3 years back, perhaps if he successfully turned any single entity corruption-free where a normal citizen doesn't need to give rishwat, Today, people could've trusted him. The problem again with practicality and a realistic approach. You can't put everything on COVID because his finance ministry mismanaged everything from the beginning...

The last three years have seen unprecedented turbulence in the region and the world and for foreign policy people will say he is the best PM in decades, but I see your point.

Something concrete needs to happen to improve people’s life’s in a practical way. Faster courts could have been (and still could be, because they still have a year and a half to go) a major change, to upholding the rule of law, and giving confidence to the people they will get fair and speedy justice. Automating a lot of government services and making the process transparent as done in South Korea could also improve the ease of doing business. These two things could be landmark domestic changes that wouldn’t have been out of reach by a government. Just these two changes would have helped attract a substantial jump in FDI to the country (especially in key growth industries the country needs like petrochemicals/pharmaceuticals, mining, electronics, and research universities/facilities), and given the government more options to borrow and not burden the average men and women with as many taxes and cuts to development budgets, as a condition of an IMF loan.

The party with justice in its name, should at least strive to make these changes ASAP. And hopefully it becomes laser focused on these two areas, and can show some progress before election season.

People expect Imran khan to magically reduce prices to insanely low , not even knowing current economic conditions , all these patwaris expect him to bring changes in a day. Bash all this and That , And cry when you get taxed , call your Relatives when you get challaned , abuse the System and still expect Pakistan to Progress. It doesn't happen like that.

Imran Khan needs to start delivering on the economic front.

This critique is coming from a PTI (really just Imran Khan) supporter.

How many fronts can one guy fight at a time?

He's a Politician - not Jedi.

In 3 Years, i'm sure he's realized that there are snakes within his own Party. He just doesn't have the numbers to stand on his own. He needs the support of certain crook Parties that have been blackmailing him constantly.

public and not on London flats.
WTH man, this is a Boogeyman argument
We should thank NS for expensive electricity cause at the end of the day we have electricity

Is it wrong or is it right- simple
It's a populist move that'll bite us in the back as time goes on and cost add up

Not sustainable- there's a reason why even rich countries don't endorse it
