Much of her achievements matched what PM Khan intends to do in the future. Pakistani social media users pointed out that Jacinda Arderns achievements echo the election manifesto of PTI implying that the ruling party had been following New Zealand’s Labour Party’s manifesto. They pointed out that while PM Ardern achieved the goals within two years, PTI is still struggling to achieve promised goals despite more than one year in the government.

Pakistani social media users praised flawless leadership skills of Jacinda Ardern of providing maximum relief to her people in the shortest possible time. They hailed her true ‘people’s leader’. They also schooled Prime Minister Imran Khan to follow Jacinda Ardern and pace up to deliver his promised goals as soon as possible for people’s welfare.
Nevertheless, the current government might be moving with a snail-speed, they have are gradually stepping towards achieving their goals. Plantation of trees under the 10 Billion Tree Tsunami Project, the construction of state-owned houses under the Naya Pakistan Housing Scheme are in process with the recent promulgation on plastic bags in Islamabad and across Pakistan.
