Pakistan's System to Remain Intact: Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi Clarifies Stance

In a recent interview, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi addressed the speculation surrounding the existing system of governance in Pakistan. He assured that the current system would complete its full constitutional term of five years. Naqvi emphasized the need for a comprehensive performance review of all federal cabinet ministers, suggesting that the assessment should be conducted by a third party and the results made public. This, he believes, will reveal which ministries are delivering and which are falling short. The minister stood by his previous remarks that the country's system has been 'completely destroyed' over the past 80 years, but clarified that he was referring to the deterioration of the system, not the current government. Naqvi praised Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's work ethic and highlighted the government's achievements, including increased revenue and diplomatic successes, despite operating within a flawed system. He dismissed speculation about differences with the premier and emphasized his commitment to the government. In response to Naqvi's remarks, other federal ministers, including Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and Sanaullah, suggested that he should focus on reforming the system from within the Interior Ministry and defended Pakistan's parliamentary democratic framework.
