Mostly the same faces

Over the years, time at the least has taught Khan to make careful use of his words

LAHORE: Suffice it to say that post the 25th of July, Prime Minister Imran Khan has repeatedly won over his detractors with his affirmative and reconciliatory tone in his addresses to the public and the ones delivered in the legislative houses. Over the years, time at the least has taught Khan to make careful use of his words. However, contrary to it is the fact that Khan’s government might be the most amateur the country has ever had. Albeit, with faces that have served quite a few times in previous governments, the governments that have bogged the country down into debts and instability, the fact does little to justify that the same would do any better under Khan.

Moreover, it is nonetheless shocking to see that more than PTI’s own party members, important ministries have been secured by members of coalition parties, including the PML-Q and MQM-P. Amid all this put behind is the PTI’s promise of bringing the young at the forefront as the leadership of the country.
