PM’s team

HONESTY and sincerity of Prime Minister Imran Khan is beyond doubt but unfortunately he does not have a very good team.

Particularly, there are three or four ministers who are a source of problem. They are fond of appearing on TV.

The minister` for aviation has proved to be a disaster. His handling of pilots’ licence issue is a disaster. He recently stated that British Airways has sacked 12,000 employees but he forgot to mention how many of those sacked had fake licences.

People had difficulty in understanding the statement of the minister for railway on the increase in the petrol price when used word ‘his’ government. Perhaps he did no remember that he is a part of the government and not in the opposition.
