Part of what you say is true [bold emphasis], but please tell me, how does one convince the past beneficiaries of corruption of a future which promises to be corruption free?
This is not to say anything of the slip ups you see with IK. It's called being human (we all make mistakes), and honesty unlike the corrupt who follow a script.
If you think after 9 months is failing in a political sphere, then you do not understand politics, unless of course, one receives a wadded brown envelope!
Firstly, Pakistan’s biggest problem is incompetence and not corruption. Our next doors neighbors India, with whom we share a lot of similarities have shown that it is possible to achieve economic progression in spite of corruption.
They are one of the most corrupt countries in the world, but yet, they are economically at least 20-30 years ahead of us, something the “corruption is the biggest problem in Pakistan” group fail to explain.
Secondly, it is not about 3 months or 9 months - it is about the direction the government is heading and the long-term vision that this government seem to lack.
In only 8 months, they have removed 5 members of the team including the so-called economic genius who, for years, was hailed as the solution to our economic and social woes.
In addition, they have appointed suffers like Fawad Chaudhry and Firdous Awan in important positions who don’t represent change and a new Pakistan by any stretch of the imagination.
First, it was the “100 days” plan of PTI which was flushed down the toilet, now it is has been 9 months and the circus continues.
The excuse now is that give us a full term and we will prove ourselves, but when the circus continues after 5 years, the excuse will be that the other parties have done so much damage that it will take multiple terms to make a difference.
Unfortunately, PTI and Imran take people for fools. Sure they can fool and impress a certain gullible section with his Kaptaan gimmick and cricket analogies, but the majority of people are now slowly but surely waking up to their crap.
That is why quite a few people included renowned journalists and anchors have turned against them in spite of supporting in the past, and no, it has nothing to do with any “brown envelope” but with the fact that this government has no idea what they are doing.
As a result of their incompetence, they are not on the same page as their hardcore supporters either. They were vehemently defend and appreciating the performance of the economic genius Asad Umar before Imran left them embarrassed by asking him to resign as Finance Minister and take up a different ministry.
