Imran’s task

Published July 28, 2017

RULING a Third World country like Pakistan, which has been fighting against the evil of terrorism, trying to overcome energy crisis, population explosion, unemployment and, above all, corruption scandals is a hard nut to crack.

In a situation like this, good governance is not a piece of cake for any political leader, including Imran Khan. It’ll take a long time and serious efforts to cure such socioeconomic diseases. Eradication of these major problems needs experienced, determined, courageous and most important sincere leadership.

Imran Khan got this opportunity in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He should learn from his experience of governance in KP and should deliver something outstanding there so that the people of Pakistan can elect him as prime minister in 2018.
