Isn't it a collective failure?
There is an huge administrative machinery that runs a nation..
Obviously these guys in administration are corrupted & these guys are in your neighborhood & family.
If you are ok with corruption money coming to your home then you have to fix yourself, you cannot blame your leader for that..
I beg to differ, i've been watching the Foreign Ministry throughout the years and it's a joke, the amount of relations damaged and pointless shenanigans i mean, really they have disgraced the ministry itself.Theo not constancy I see is in the foreign ministry and that is doing the job very well
10/10.Whatever his missteps, IK is the best choice going forward, simply for the reason that there's no better choice. Honestly,, three years is too short a time frame to judge success given the current world we live in.
I am not saying they are superman but it’s the only ministry in the Government that has not changed and when I compare them to other parties I think we have done well in defending Pakistan and debunking Indian propaganda at every platformI beg to differ, i've been watching the Foreign Ministry throughout the years and it's a joke, the amount of relations damaged and pointless shenanigans i mean, really they have disgraced the ministry itself.
Excellent points. This is an important thread.
Let me add that IK only has himself to blame. It is not even about 'experience' --- it is about being a visionary AND an executer. You need to be in the top 0.1% of both these aspects to have any shot at reversing the rot afflicting our country. Needless to say, he didn't possess this combo.
The number one realization has to be that the present system isn't working. This means totally revamping the entire civil bureaucracy (should have had a detailed plan, given he was apparently waiting for this moment for decades), firing thousands of people, constructing two mega jails to house thousands of corrupt people, declaring some sort of emergency, etc.
Many people say that change takes time and that IK's hands were tied because he didn't enjoy the type of majority needed to be truly independent. Both things are true --- but they cannot excuse such bad performance.
These aspects did not force IK to appoint a buffoon as Punjab CM. They did not force IK to pick a cabinet full of questionable characters. Sure, there's pressure --- but if you can't deal with pressure, what are you doing in that seat?!
Those who know him well claim that he is very easy to trick in cabinet meetings --- like a child who is playing with Lego beyond his cognitive/age level. Perhaps he should have been an active President and appointed a ruthless 'doer' as the PM. He has admirable but naïve notions of how the world actually works and how work is GOTTEN (you can't just delegate and then expect for it to be done in the next cabinet meeting in a country like Pakistan --- only danda works) from lethargic and corrupt bureaucrats. Of course, the COAS extension was the icing on the cake.
It really pains me. And anyone who thinks that this was a decent showing, please wake up. Pakistan cannot afford 'decent' showings. Pakistan needs a TOTAL revamp in so many areas. Entire restructuring of government bodies, grassroot reform, revamped intakes, etc. --- and a new constitution.
You'll be hard-pressed to find a country stuck in a vicious circle of corruption, poverty, short-termism and mediocrity (of intellect, culture, etc. --- just a general lack of excellence) and an identity crisis RANDOMLY break free of this cycle and become a middle or serious economic power. This is because the parliamentary democracy system in a third world country does not allow the ridding of vested interests because there is no incentive to do so (why would the elected hold themselves accountable?) --- therefore the only hope left is a philosopher-king in the form of a highly intellectual AND ruthless visionary military dictator, revolutionary or striking oil.
My 2c.
Only an improvement in relations with Turkey was witnessed, so far it seems like Malaysia was a 'one night stand'. Ties with Saudi Arabia hit a low due with SMQ providing a very nice catalyst to them with his outburst. You also got him fumbling in Afghan Media and also proceeding to say a racist trope in an interview with American Media so great going in that regards.Our relationship with China are Good but did not improve much but relationship with Malaysia, Turkey and a lot of other countries improved significantly
The govt seems to be running the state business relying upon the positions of celestial bodies accompanied by good and bad omens -------.
rumours!
