Imran’s task

Published October 23, 2018

IMRAN Khan is a great and visionary leader. He knows very well how to face challenges and overcome the hurdles. His life is full of adventures, conflicts, victories and defeats.

To be a prime minister is one of the toughest jobs, especially of a country whose economy is on the verge of disintegration and where some strong people don’t abide by the laws and consider embezzlement their basic right.

The accusations of corruption against Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif has brought this country to the brink of disaster.

Now people hope for a quick ‘change’ in a country already overwhelmed by a plethora of problems. It will take time to reform things. To show a better result, the government will have to take some risks for which people are not yet ready.
