ISLAMABAD: Imran khan’s Performances Highlights
While proudly presenting the “achievements” of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf-led coalition government over the past three years, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday vowed to help the country stand on its feet with dignity through progress and self-sustainment.
In an hour-long speech at the launch of the three-year performance report of his government, the prime minister said that on assumption of power in August 2018, the PTI faced numerous ‘inherited challenges’ including financial instability, poverty, and inadequate education and health facilities. But currently there were several feathers in the cap of his government, particularly tackling the challenge of COVID-19 through its’smart lockdown strategy’, he said, adding that Pakistan had been recently ranked by The Economist as the ‘third-best performing country’ for handling the pandemic.

Imran Khan stated that Islamabad would not join any other country’s war, but he also declared that the nation would not permit the murder of its own citizens, as had occurred in the US-Taliban conflict following the 9/11 attacks.
Imran Khan claimed that although the army, the courts, and politicians had all made “mistakes” in the past, a particular group of people and foreign actors were holding the Pakistan Army responsible for the current state of affairs in Afghanistan.
