As of the writing of this article, PM Imran Khan is no more in the PM office. He was removed as a result of a no-confidence motion filed by the Joint opposition of 13 parties. Its tenure lasted 3 years and 8 months only and now the head of the biggest political party will sit on the opposition benches. The biggest question is what went wrong, which caused all the opposition parties to come after him. Is Pakistan Prime ministers’ tenure a failure?

Well, his biggest crime is to ask the west to treat Pakistan with equality rather than being slaves to them. Imran Khan talks about living with dignity, courage and self-respect, which was a new concept for the nation as well as for opposition parties who always treated the west, especially US as a boss and provider of bread and butter.

This stance of Imran Khan faced strong opposition sponsored by US and fueled by a few paid journalists as well as some foreign agencies and this caused him to step down. The opposition leader, Shahbaz Sharif, rightly said:

‘’beggars can’t be choosers’’

Thereby reminding the nation that we are beggars and we do not have anything to do with integrity and self-respect. US is supreme and we have to bow down to him.

The narrative built by the opposition revolves around the bad governance of Imran Khan, Was it true? Let’s explore facts and some of the accomplishments that Pakistan’s Prime Minister achieved in his short tenure for Pakistan.
