PM Khan has Done Something Unprecedented
Analysts argue that there is no denying of the fact that PM khan is working by day and night to make Pakistan a genuine representative democracy. He has visited Saudi Arabia, China, Malaysia, and UAE in order to seek financial help and generate economic activity in the country. His efforts are commendable for the majority of Pakistanis. PM Khan who has repeatedly maintained that he will never compromise on the rule of law and nobody whether minister or ordinary people will ever be allowed to break the law.

He also made it clear that the ministries were awarded not on personal choices but on the basis of individual capacity and interest. Anyone not performing well, PM Khan has said, will have to go back to home. PM Khan has said more than once that his agenda is to work for the betterment of people and nobody in his cabinet will ever be allowed to rule. We are here to serve, said PM.
Moreover, it is unprecedented in the history of Pakistan that a PM himself chaired a meeting and reviewed the performance of all minsters and also gave them future tasks. Even ministers are required to be asked by someone about their performances; this would make them realize that they have responsibilities to perform and tasks to achieve that too in a given period of time. This is established that Pakistan is prospering under the leadership of Mr. Khan who has promised to make a Naya Pakistan.
