For several months now political analysts have speculated that there are rifts within the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf as well as camps within the party who are dissatisfied with how the party is being run.

The party’s top leadership can no longer afford to ignore the infighting either, it appears.

The PTI government has six months to perform, said Federal Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhry in an interview with an international news organisation.

Fawad claimed Prime Minister Imran Khan has told the federal cabinet that if it does not perform within six months, matters may escalate.

In the interview, Fawad stressed that there were great expectations from the prime minister and the PTI government. It came into power on the promise of reforming the entire system, not just fixing nuts and bolts, he said.

He added that PM Imran’s vision of systemic change was very clear before he came into power.

However, once the government was formed, there were many quarrels between senior leaders Asad Umar, Jehangir Tareen and Shah Mahmood Qureshi.

The internal strife within the party hurt the government, opined Fawad.

“Imran’s core team broke up. The new people are frankly not aligned with his idea and maybe don’t have the capacity to do so. The infighting has caused a lot of harm to the party and its political cadre.”

The federal minister further said that it is the government’s own shortcomings that it cannot deliver.

The government runs on two things – politics and governance, if there is a lack of balance between the two, matters can go awry at any time, he elaborated.

Giving an example of the infighting within the ruling party, he said: “When Asad Umar was the finance minister, Jehangir Tareen made every effort to get him removed and when Asad Umar came back, he ousted Jehangir Tareen.”

The science minister added that multiple meetings were held between Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Jehangir Tareen for reconciliation but to no avail.

The federal minister added that he did not know on whose advice the prime minister had appointed such weak persons who required ‘dictation’ for every matter. This has damaged PM Imran’s vision, opined Fawad.

It appears that reality has finally dawned on the clueless government. The tabdeeli “nasha” is over and they have realized that they cannot get away with blaming the previous governments forever.

Fawad Chaudhry have categorically claimed that Imran Khan warned his ministers in the latest cabinet meeting that government has 6 months to perform or else things will go out of hand.

Those who will moan about “context” can watch the interview from 10:15 onwards.

It seems that the military establishment has given Imran an ultimatum - show some results in the next 6 months or the umpire will raise his finger.

Now the most confusing part is that PTI supporters have been adamant that the government has not put a foot wrong so far and has fully delivered. So why exactly is Imran Khan giving his government an ultimatum?
 
Fawad ko koi tension nahi, idhar kaam nahi chala, tou agli daffa N-league mein sahi

Do you remember Diesel and your predictions. Lol

This is the story of every politician in PTI. These lotas will all be absorbed by other parties when this tabdeeli circus is over.
 
But these are the words of a PTI champion. Or is he one of the bad guys now? Do you not trust a man who was appointed by the man you worship?

I know there his words and time will tell but time has told about your prediction. You sold your soul to Diesel, and in the end he was humiliated and his supporters had to be fed by IK. Lol
 
Imran and his government have been a massive let down. I remember being their number one supporter on PP.

Time has proved that raising slogans and climbing onto shipping containers is different than running a country! Running a country requires competence, strong backbone and bravery which all have been missing from Imran Khan’s governance.

He has made a huge number of U-turns because he lack any spine to absorb pressure. The government has been more interested in gimmicky activities such as raising a tiger force to stem the spread of COVID-19.

This circus has overstayed and very soon, the people or the circus directors will rush to the stage and send the circus master home.

I don't care much about Fawad, never liked the guy anyway. I just hope Kaptaan succeeds, he is an honest good man and you can't deny that.

What post does Nadeem Chan has in the party? He is a calm guy who should be given more responsibility.

He is an honorary spokesman of the PM, and one of the very few decent people in the party.

Kaptaan cannot succeed because he did not prepare himself and spent all his time arranging dharnas and criticizing the opposition. He has failed to identify a team and that has resulted in PTI becoming a disoriented mess.

If Imran was as bad a cricket team captain as he is as a PM, he wouldn’t have lasted more than a series.

The problem is that everyone wants to have a prominent role. They are talkers but when it comes to the hard grind of getting on top of your portfolio, they easily get fobbed off by corrupt bureaucrats.
 
Wonder what was the point of a mini gramophone there, always fascinated by gramophones and vinyl records, that is a smaller one though probably a show one.

He is a good leader, but I look at his struggles differently. To mee it seems like it's not easy to have honest ministers. Most of them are only interested in their own pockets, just look at the rest of the politicians from the other parties. They have become billionaires whereas the country is in complete mess.

I am sure he has tried his best to prepare himself, but he is in dire need of a couple of persons like him self, heck even half of his calibre would be sufficient. But can't see where he will get those from?

The system of governance was created to give the mafia control. We need a Presidential system like America, where he can bring in people and not worry about losing his majority.

PTI has become a disjointed mess.

You have an idealist leader at the top who lives in a world of his own, and you have a collection of frauds, crooks and all-around incompetent people who jumped on the PTI bandwagon for personal interests.

There is no chemistry and coordination from top to bottom. PTI will vanish into thin air once Imran is gone.

Imran succeeded in becoming PM, but he failed in his ultimate mission - to bring tabdeeli.

Not really, except for Nadeem FP and Hassan Nisar I hardly have read or listened to Pakistani journalists. In my opinion his questions were great along with his urdu but reminded me of the some old Hindi movie characters very pacified not sure why usually Pakistani speakers are very crisp and dressed in suit pant good to see a different side.

He is a very underrated journalist, generally asks very good questions and is a very calm person as well. Yes good to see traditional attire. It's so comfortable. When I am in Pakistan and I see the young boys in tight jeans I really shake my head. You have the most comfortable Shalwar kameez available and you wear those jeans in that heat, amazing.

This mafia has destroyed the country and it's really sad to see.
 
Every new goverment gets a "Honeymoon" period, where they can pin the problems of the country on the prior government. Then they have a period where they can make reforms, and then the goverment goes into election mode.

The Honeymoon period is over for PTI, so they need to make changes as much as possible in the next 2 years, before they go into election mode.

So by saying 6 months Imran Khan is trying to a sense of urgency in his ministers.

The PTI has not had a week's honeymoon period. It inherited a bankrupt country, all the while the people that bankrupted the country are giving "economic advice", then the false flag of Pulwama and the conflict with Ind followed and as soon as the fruits of the sacrifices started to appear, then we have a once in a lifetime pandemic. Allah tests his people, Allah has really tested IK.
 
Yet again a predictable point scoring thread from the usual suspect who would have brushed it aside as a non issue if it was the PPP and PML N in power. Not sure what the premise of the thread is, does the prime minister of the country not reserve the right to put his entire cabinet, ministers and advisors on notice?

He certainly does. However, that is not the issue.

The issue is that cult-followers have been stating for the past 2 years that this government is doing a stellar job and has not put a foot wrong.

They bluntly dismiss the claims that their performance has been shambolic and they have time and time again showed that they are not ready and did not do their homework.

But if that was the case, why would Imran give his cabinet an ultimatum of get your act together in the next 6 months or we are done?

In 6 months, it will be half-time for their government. It appears that the selectors of this government are clearly unimpressed and have told Imran that if things don’t improve by half-time, he will have to go.

So the problem is not what Imran told his cabinet; the problem is that cult-followers’ claims that this government is doing a great job seems to be falling flat.

This reminds me of the time when cult- followers were doing bhangra on how good Asad Umar’s performance was as finance minister, and they would quickly gang up on any person who would criticize him.

The same cult-followers had nowhere to hide when Asad Umar was promptly removed as finance minister within 8 months.

Nobody has said that they have done a stellar job. They have been doing a decent job which was overwhelmingly refreshing following decades of mismanagement. Some ministries and portfolios were doing good jobs, some horribly (not sure what Fawad Chaudhry has been doing as Science Minister). Good international PR, restoring our economic reserves, flipping the import/export ratio back into the green area, beginning to attract foreign investment, and cleaning up of governmental corruption such as Sania Nishtar with BISP.

The currency had begun improving, economy was on the cusp of turning up before the coronavirus began spreading. Now everything is in tatters. And the ministries that were underperforming previously (as with most previous governments) are still underperforming. So an ultimatum is not surprising.

I have seen you give some unfounded comments to other posters previously about why we are not holding Imran Khan to a gold standard rather than comparing him with previous governments. Truth of the matter is that you calling people hypocritical is simply a way to rile them up, and once someone is riled up, you have won your argument because their responses are more emotive than objective.

So here is the objective response: Imran Khan does not meet a gold standard. However, he does exceptionally against the Pakistan standard, and that is enough to put faith in him. To get any government in any country from this kind of standard to the gold standard, criticism like yours or mine is necessary and a crucial part of constructive democracy. However, this does not include emotive, attacking remarks by targeting “cult-followers”.

Posters before have said this as well that you are a quite bright individual. I think deep down if you are commenting on threads like these on such a frequent basis, it means you do care about the dire situation our country is in. For this reason, I would be very happy to see suggestions and constructive criticism from you, and I will be the first to read because I enjoy coherent arguments.

The selectors of this govt are the people of Pakistan and I am sure IK is keeping tabs on the mood in the country and has finally decided its time for tough love and tightening the screws
 
Lol under the PML-N noora govt 😂, there was a time when the federal cabinet had not met for 6 months and some of mian Saab own ministers complained they had very unable to meet or reach the pm for months. Atleast under the pti the cabinet meets every week

You seem to be avoiding the question. We are told by cult-followers that PTI has done a stellar job so far and has not put a foot wrong. But if that is the case, why has Imran finally decided that it’s time for tough love and screw tightening?

Does Imran not agree with his cult-followers that PTI is doing a good job? Is Imran agreeing with the critics?

And whose mood are you referring to? Cult-followers are doing bhangra and in awe of the performance of Imran.
 
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has warned his ministers to improve their performance in six months, saying that in case of failure the situation could slip out of hand, reported The News.

Sources privy to the proceedings of the cabinet meeting said a heated debate took place on an interview given by Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhry to a foreign media outlet.

According to sources two senior cabinet members – Asad Umar and Shah Mehmood Qureshi — objected to the interview, saying Chaudhry had acted very irresponsibly while speaking to the media. Chaudhry defended himself by telling ministers to listen to the complete interview before raising any objection.

He said that journalist Suhail Warraich had sought his political analysis, and he told him that infighting between Jahangir Khan Tareen, Umar and Qureshi had damaged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) a lot, especially the political element in the party. However, the prime minister stopped Chaudhry from speaking further; saying cabinet members should be careful in their discussions and should not spoil unity in the party ranks.

Faisal Vawda lashes out at cabinet members
During the cabinet meeting, Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda came down hard on Umar and Qureshi, alleging that they both wanted to become the prime minister. “There is no doubt in it at all,” he claimed. He said their internal rift had damaged the government.

Vawda said that always it was claimed in the cabinet meeting that “all is well”, but ground realities are different. The prime minister stopped Vawda from speaking further and asked all ministers to improve their performance in six months.

Sources added, the premier also sought details of double nationality of his advisors and special assistants. A heated debate was also held on the performance of some ministers, prime minister’s advisors and special assistants. Vawda severely criticised the policies of Umar, Abdul Razzak Dawood and Nadeem Babar, and alleged that some cabinet members were hatching conspiracies. He claimed that a game was going on in the cabinet and he would not stay silent over it.

Sources said when Vawda got emotional while criticising the cabinet members, PM Imran said: “Calm down, Faisal.”

Shibli Faraz briefs media about cabinet meeting
Meanwhile, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz held a press conference to brief the media about the cabinet meeting. He said the cabinet welcomed the verdict of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in the sugar inquiry case and reiterated the government's commitment to bring to book all sugar barons who earned undue profits, irrespective of their background. Faraz said the cabinet decided that recommendations of the inquiry commission regarding the actions should be carried out within the stipulated timeline given to relevant institutions.

He was confident that the step would bring improvement and transparency in the whole value chain of sugar production from sugarcane purchase to marketing of the commodity. He said the process of determining the prices of sugar would be visible in the next three months, as the government had revamped the entire network of the institutions responsible for monitoring and regulation of the sugar industry. The minister said it would result in the provision of the commodity to people at reasonable rates and help make recoveries from those who had been exploiting the system for minting money at the cost of the consumers.

Faraz said that the cabinet expressed concerns over the rising price of flour and it endorsed the instructions of prime minister for rectification of the situation by taking corrective steps including the release of nine million tons of wheat by the Punjab government and control of smuggling of the commodity.

A committee under Advisor to PM Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh had been constituted to monitor and supervise the situation to streamline the process and make it more transparent. Faraz noted that the prime minister has issued directives to determine the demand and supply of flour on a scientific basis with a collection of complete data. He said 27 million tons of flour was the country’s requirement, whereas 25 million tons of wheat was available and its import was allowed to keep its prices stable.

The minister said the cabinet appreciated the performance of the education ministry for introducing a uniform curriculum in the country for all educational institutions including religious seminaries. The cabinet discussed the use of online education by utilising modern technologies in the post-coronavirus situation. The prime minister, he said, emphasised making the facility available in far-flung areas of the country, especially Balochistan, where the availability of internet was an issue. He directed that IT funds should be utilised for the benefit of the people of Balochistan, as they deserved similar facilities enjoyed by the rest of Pakistan.

The minister said the premier was determined to improving the health system in the country and the cabinet approved the establishment of a new teaching hospital in the federal capital, which would be built on modern lines. Faraz said that Umar and Special Assistant to PM on Health Dr Zafar Mirza gave a detailed briefing on prevalent COVID-19 situation.

The information minister said that in a short period, the laboratories in the country for corona testing had reached 129 from a mere two at the start of the pandemic. He said the testing capacity had increased to 50,000 tests daily from initial 472 and it would reach 150,000 per day by end of July.

The minister said overall 770 hospitals in the country were catering to the needs of patients of coronavirus, adding the number of oxygenated beds available in the country was 8,886, out of which 2,671 were occupied. He said 2,150 more oxygenated beds would be available by the next month.

Faraz said the federal government was very clear from day one on how to take steps to overcome the challenge of coronavirus. He said that PM Imran had the vision from the beginning to run the economy to save vulnerable segments of society from hunger and starvation as well as protect the lives of people.

He said that the opposition finds fault with the handling of the virus and calls for strict lockdown as they had billions of rupees in their accounts abroad, but Imran Khan had no foreign accounts and properties and was leading the nation from the front.

Shibli Faraz on accountability for cabinet members and Zartaj Gul's COVID-19 remarks

Faraz said it would make no difference if anyone belonged to the party or otherwise when it comes to the investigation of any wrongdoings. The minister, while responding to questions, said that the prime minister knew within the party, who was involved in sugar or flour business before he ordered investigations into the wheat and sugar crises. The minister emphasised that no attempt was made to save the skin of anyone belonging to the ruling party. He added the outcome of the probes was a great government achievement, which was never done ever before.

When asked by a reporter, had PTI leader Tareen informed the prime minister about his foreign trip and that whether he would be back, as his name was among the alleged characters behind sugar crisis and money-making. The minister said that people had voted PTI to tackle the deep-rooted mafias and it was for the first time, any government had taken them head-on.

About certain remarks by Minister for Climate Change Zartaj Gul on some matters, going viral on the social and print and electronic media, including the nature of coronavirus and climate change, Faraz said that it was a slip of tongue. However, he said that the minister for climate change was outstanding and was doing well and was respected duly in the cabinet.

About some alleged discrepancies in the Ehsaas Cash Programme, he explained that the entire exercise was based on Nadra data and there was no discrimination or political element involved in cash disbursement. “For qualification of any applicant, there are certain parameters to be taken into account,” he noted.

Even if beds were increased up to 10 million, he said there would not be enough, given Pakistan’s population and the key was to follow the SOPs and adopt social distancing. He added that the government was doing its best to strike a balance between ensuring economic activity and prevention of the spread of the virus. He cautioned that the cabinet was informed that the coming weeks would be very tough. Prime minister, he noted, would talk to ministers with timelines concerning tasks and targets. Using technology, the government, he said, was resorting to smart lockdowns and sealing of hotspots.`

If PTI was in control before COVID and things were looking up, Imran Khan’s selectors would not be pushing the panic button now and giving him a 6 month ultimatum.

COVID did not ruin the plans of the government; it only added to the problems.

Initially, it served as a convenient distraction but once PTI’s incompetence was exposed in the handling of this pandemic, the failures of this government once again came to the fore.

PTI’s incompetence and lack of preparation was evident within the first 6 months. You do not have to look beyond the Asad Umar fiasco and the appointment of Hafeez Sheikh.

For 8 years, Imran Khan advertised Asad Umar as some financial guru who would turn our economy upside down.

However, he proved to be so out of depth that he had to be booted out within 8 months, and he was replaced by a former PPP finance minister, who was either a beneficiary of PPP corruption or he was so incompetent that Zardari was looting money under his nose and he didn’t have a clue.

Imran kept reshuffling his cabinet all the time because he was not prepared and didn’t identify the right people before winning the election.

They kept harping about current account even when it wasn’t relevant, but you improve your current account by boosting exports and not by putting a stop on imports without boosting exports. This caused price hikes and the standard of living plunged.

PTI had created a very comfortable situation for themselves. If something good happens, they take the credit. If something bad happens, they blame PMLN and PPP. Now, they have found a new excuse called COVID-19.

They say Rome was not built in a day, but these jokers cannot build Rome in 50 years. And when they inevitably fail, they will say well we tried but it was not possible to reverse the damage caused by PMLN and PPP.

PTI is a disjointed party with a delusional and idealistic leader at the top who is in a world of his own and still stuck in 92 World Cup mode, and below him is an assortment of opportunistic politicians who are serving their interests. There is no coordination and chemistry from top to bottom. It is a chaotic mess.

This is what people predicted would have happen once Imran took the electables (lota) route, and started handing out party tickets and ministries to tried and tested failures from other parties.

If Imran could not win the election without their vote banks and was handicapped by the system, he should have realized this earlier instead of making tall claims of bringing tabdeeli. You cannot bring tabdeeli with the same old faces. It is not possible.

Unfortunately, Imran worshipers have no choice but to defend their leader and everything he does, so their justification was that when the Kaptaan is great, the team also works diligently. That is obviously not true because a diligent team makes a Kaptaan great, and we are seeing the results now.

PTI did not make adequate preparations. Their politics centered around pointing fingers at other parties and making sensationalist, unrealistic tall claims that were not achievable. There was no serious, workable mandate.

Unfortunately, sensationalism, bombastic speeches and mud-slinging attracts voters, but these characteristics do not help you run the government.

When you claim that you will create a Madinah welfare state, you will convert PM house and Governor Houses into universities and libraries and you will bring back billions of looted rupees within weeks, you attract people who start dancing on the streets, but these tall claims will only come back to bite when you are in power.

This government had 5 years in KP to prepare themselves, but those 5 years were wasted because the province was handed over to a certified crook like Pervez Khattak (who is now a puppet defense minister), and the lasting legacy of PTI in KP is the BRT disaster.

There are question marks on Imran’s credibility as well. He used the lead player in the sugar mafia (Jahangir Tareen) as his election campaign financier, and it appears that Imran had no issues with benefiting from his black money and corruption as long as it was serving his interests.

Jahangir Tareen’s son is now using his daddy’s black money to invest in Multan franchise in PSL but apparently that is halal as well.

These are just a few examples of PTI’s blatant hypocrisy which they deflect and sweep aside by talking about PMLN and PPP.

Naya Pakistan is nothing but a scam, and these scammers are now realizing that they cannot survive forever by blaming the previous governments, and hence their is panic in the cabinet now and they have seen the writing on the wall - if they don’t get their act together in the coming months, the selectors will have to make their move.

Unfortunately, when you have ministers like Zartaj Gul, dumb clowns like Murad Saeed, idiots like Sheikh Rasheed, Firdous Awan and fake pirs like Shah Mehmood Qureshi in your team, you cannot achieve anything.

And take a look at Imran Khan himself. Like other high achievers, he has overestimated himself and his capabilities.

He has achieved his dream of becoming the PM by compromising his morals and his manifesto. Basically, he flushed everything he stood for down the toilet to get into the hot seat, but these compromises are now costing him his dream of Naya Pakistan.

If Imran thought that he will collect all these idiots and uneducated morons and reign them in because he is Kaptaan and lifted the World Cup in 92, he thought wrong.
 
Imran and his government have been a massive let down. I remember being their number one supporter on PP.

Time has proved that raising slogans and climbing onto shipping containers is different than running a country! Running a country requires competence, strong backbone and bravery which all have been missing from Imran Khan’s governance.

Sorry to hear that you are no longer a supporter of PTI.

Good luck with you next choice of party
 
Imran Khan will survive, because he has always been honest and done his best for Pakistan.

Everyone and everything else politically is heading to its logical end. It is only a matter of time.
 
Some people need to calm down, don't go making indictments about a government only 22 months into its term. Lets not forget that the Coronavirus-induced global economic recession is unprecedented and there's really not much most governments especially those of poor countries such as Pakistan could have done to avoid the fallout. Pakistan was already recovering from an economic crisis before the election and now they're going to have to spend the remaining years of this term in economic recovery like most other countries. What Pakistan needs is stability and continuity of a government, hopefully Imran Khan last as long as PM as Erdogan, Putin, Mahatir (first term) and Lee Kuan Yew were able to last. If he can be the PM for the next 10 to 20 years then I'm certain there would be positive changes and Pakistan would be on the right track of development.
