For how long will you blame the previous government for your failures, PTI?

He hasn't even blamed them enough, people just aren't realizing how grave and precarious situation we're actually in.

Every time PTI officials open mouth, incl. IK, all they speak is about Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif or how they thrashed them in assembly.

No one knows, what ministers are doing, besides talking of past and sucking on to IK...……

Its time for army judicery and govr collectively save the country

Why than elections or democracy is required at all.
Stop wasting state resources on by-elections already.

They should say it, even more vehemently, because opposition is blaming them for increasing gas and electricity prices which were inevitable because Noon-league has left so much debt.

I didn't knew compromised opposition would dare to blame PTI for various price hikes.
I feel sympathy for PTI, that upon assuming power, they are hit with surprise of debt.

Stop with the hyperbole, this isn't first time Pakistan is going to IMF.

and always will, because there is never a plan or direction besides hiring and firing govt. employees.
Without foreign investment in local industry nothing will improve.
Local industry can't compete with smuggled goods, when they are taxed heavily besides bribes to bureaucracy.
Bureaucracy and oil import mafia have kicked out dozens of interested investors of alternate energy.
If govt. need audit, they should send investigation teams to AEDB.

And no foreign investment will come till Pakistan get rid of terrorism completely.

Actually it's corruption and bad examples from history which dosn't allow investor to look at Pakistan.
Pakistanis them selves are moving abroad… your own PM Imran Khan owns a flat in London!
Next is the taxes, which are too high compare to tax free countries.

 

[Path-Finder]

everyone is discussing and giving their views. Great!

The damage done by by that dalla dollar dar that has ruined this nation. that economic hitman who brought everything to a grinding halt not once but twice!! Not even fit enough to do filing was given the treasury.

If someone talks about what that pig has done is now a crime in the eyes of some 2 bit opinion writer in some english daily.

There will be alot more talking about past gov's because it's their actions that have brought ruins on the state. I have never understood what the issue is.

F#ck that lets compare it to the world, do you not think that any nation that has a newly elected gov after it takes the office does not criticise past governments?

Honestly these 2 bit opinions are not worth the paper they are printed upon.

For how long will you blame the previous government for your failures, PTI?

How can anyone believe in PTI after watching them turn into the same people they criticised previously? PHOTO: PTI OFFICIAL

It has been only seven weeks since the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government took over the reins of the country and it is already evident that the government, especially its finance minister, has no clue of the direction the economy is taking. It is, of course, the fault of the PTI leadership, who brainwashed its followers into believing that Imran Khan could change the face of Pakistan by eliminating corruption and recovering the looted money immediately after winning the elections.

Perhaps the slogans were deliberate; Imran and his associates knew that it was impossible to achieve so much in such a short span of time. Or perhaps they really believed it themselves. As the Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels used to say,

“If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.”


He also said,

“The bigger the lie, the more it will be believed.”

PTI voters were convinced that all our taxes are siphoned out of the country and deposited in foreign bank accounts or used to buy property in Dubai. They were told that just by arresting a few civil servants and tax-evaders, the change PTI promised would happen overnight.

The 16.8 million people who voted for PTI actually expected miracles within a very short time of their party coming into power. As even a layman knows, miracles do not happen overnight. Yet his charisma is so great that Imran was able to persuade his simple followers that he was the chosen one, the man who would be able to make their dreams come true. Some PTI voters even believed that the dollar would soon be available for Rs40, and asked everyone they knew to sell all the dollars they had. As the sycophantic Senator Faisal Jawed said,

“As long as Imran Khan exists, Pakistan exists.”

Apparently he forgot that Pakistan existed long before Imran was even born.

Alas, the miracle has not occurred, and there is no evidence that it will occur in the near future. The dollar has appreciated against the rupee (and is expected to be worth around Rs140 in the next two or three months). The stock exchange index continues to fall, and the economy itself appears to be in free-fall. The State Bank has raised the interest rate by 1%, and a further hike is expected, which will result in massive inflation. Growth rate is expected to slow down to 4.8%, if not lower.

Despite Imran proclaiming loudly that he will not go begging to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), his finance minister is doing just that. So, really, there is no difference between this government and the ones that came before. Gas prices have been raised and with electricity bills sure to increase, we are all in for a nightmare.



How does one expect PTI to fulfill its promises regarding the country’s economy when they are going back on everything their party stood for? How can anyone believe in them after watching them turn into the same people they were criticising previously? In the first few weeks of being in power, PTI’s priorities have been such that you wonder if they even know what really matters in the country. Firstly, there was the question of where the prime minister would live. He had said that he would not live in the PM house and that it would be converted into a university. So he decided to live in the quarters of the military secretary (which incidentally is part of the PM house colony). He may be fooling the people who voted for him, but he is not fooling the rest of the country.

Then there was the matter of protocol, which Imran highly detested. But the protocol continues to be in force, whether it is for him, for the president or his ministers. He also went back on his promise to not go abroad in the first three months of coming into power. He said he would travel on commercial flights and not travel in business class. But in the very first month of assuming office, he travelled to Saudi Arabia in an official Air Force plane and also took along plenty of ministers and others with him, a practice he used to criticise when he was in opposition.

They also had a justification for their helicopter travel adventures. Fawad Chaudhry’s claim that a helicopter requires only Rs55 to take the prime minister from his home in Bani Gala to the prime minister’s house, only proves that the intelligence of everyone associated with PTI can be questioned. I even suspect that when they say ‘billion’, they really mean ‘crore’ (10 million).

Furthermore, PTI and its leader always claimed they are against dynastic rule, but unfortunately they accept anything when it comes to their party. Close friends of the prime minister have been named ministers and advisors, which makes us wonder, where is the merit now? Some of these include Naeemul Haq, Aleem Khan (under investigation by NAB), Awn Chaudhry and Zulfi Bukhari (despite being a British national, as well as under investigation for being in the Panama Leaks scandal and owning offshore properties).

Recently, Umar removed the ban on non-filers to buy vehicles and property, which shocked the country. Then he re-imposed the ban, only allowing overseas non-filer Pakistanis to buy property. But with the current volatile situation in the country and with the government backtracking on every measure it announces, how can overseas Pakistanis trust Imran, especially after his treatment of Atif Mian, a respected figure in international circles?

In the end, after all this mayhem and the inability of PTI to fulfil its promises, Chaudhry blames the previous government for PTI’s failures. This may help in the short term, but sooner or later, those who voted for the ruling party will be disillusioned and they will wonder whether the previous government was in fact better, or if following this whole ‘choosing the lesser evil’ mantra was a good idea. So unless this government takes drastic steps to improve the situation, people may come out on the streets protesting against false promises and impending price hikes.

The government needs to change its ways but while it fixes its problems, the country needs to be put first. Our economy is in shambles, we cannot afford to make mistakes anymore. The filing of returns should be made mandatory and there should be strict punishment for non-filers and tax thieves. Smuggling is a curse that has drowned this country in poverty. Just raiding the shops in Karkhano Bazaar in Peshawar, and all those markets in Karachi and other cities selling smuggled items will earn billions for the government. Taking the electricity and gas thieves to court and penalising them heavily, besides putting them in jail, will put the fear of God in others and will be another huge source of revenue.

The biggest revenue-earner will be the property sector, which has Rs7 trillion of black money invested in it. Some property price manipulators will have to be arrested and tried, but it will be worth it, even if a few of them are PTI donors.

But does this government have the will to do all of this?

I doubt it.

It will continue floundering like a sinking ship until the inevitable happens (as has happened so many times in the past), and a new government takes over.

Um, a little bit longer than 2 months

Yeah corruption lol its security and political stability. Foreign investment only comes when both are there.

 

[!eon]

It's history of Pakistan. Every new coming govt blames the old ones and starts a new level of corruption.

These Niazi's followers are thinking, maybe people like Tareen and Qureshi have invested billions in PTI to serve the nation.

Politics is not a charity and these investors are not dumb. Now they will receive their money back with profits, while keep bashing previous govts.

 

[Zibago]

Seriously, after reading the article headlines, I thought its some article published with our PTI (Press Trust of India) asking the question to current central government. Totally disappointed after visiting the thread.

Media in Pakistan has lost ot after Nwwz lost no one is giving them blackmail money anymore

baat simple ha sab ko pata chal gaya ha k sab parties buri chor dakoo thi..yea he change ka mantra tha jiss k wajja se Imran k party iqtdaar main ahey ..abb iss raag ko shor kar yea batana parhey ga k woo sab wahde kaise porey hoon ghey jin ka wahda kia gaya tha qoum

Abhi sirf Sharif biradraan phasey hain aik saal sabr karo Zardari bhi jail mein hoga

Reforms take years

We have had decade's of economic mismanagement,

We are corrupt

Give the government one 4 year term to create a basic structure for reform
And a second 4 year term to lay a foundation

So thats 8 years atleast but even that might not be enough as government will need money to fix problems

We are idiots expecting the mess to be cleared overnight or even in a few years

The op always was anti pti just laugh at his agony

 

[PakLeader]

How long will PTI blame the previous government? As long as possible. Nawaz and Zardari have raped the country for the last 10 plus years and are 100% responsible for the current mess. It will take time to recover and fix the mess we are in. Typical mindset of the people who have no patience and expect miracles over night, yet no one is willing to pay taxes. Wish the government would just arrest all those who are known to have looted the country and have stashed money abroad along with their families and let the chittaral start until money starts falling out of their pockets
