Jinx, a word that perfectly fits the political situation of Pakistan. But it’s not the politics but the chair of the Prime Minister that is unfortunate. We have yet to see any PM completing the 5-year tenure. Game of Thrones plot is close to what’s happening in Pakistan but it still can’t beat us. Prime Minister Imran Khan took oath in 2018 and was the chosen Prime Minister of Pakistan for the next 5 years. However, Imran Khan was forcefully removed from office through a no-confidence vote. The only person for whom the NA session and courts convened till the 11th hour. Certainly, Imran Khan’s achievements had an impact. Today we will talk about the 3 years performance of the PTI government and PM Imran Khan.
Imran Khan’s Government’s Achievements
As the PM Imran Khan’s 5 years of government only reigned for 3 years. However, in these 3 years of the PTI government, Prime Minister Imran Khan’s performance is worth all the praise. What if Imran Khan didn’t get to complete his 5 years of the premiership, he made a huge impact on not only the nation but the world. Even India couldn’t help but air Imran Khan’s speeches and addresses. So, if our rivals closely tracked PM Imran Khan’s words and actions, just imagine what would have been the opposition going through. Anyhow, if just considered Pakistan and PM Imran Khan then know that the nation was more than contented with Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government performance.
Know that these are not just claims, everything said and written is based on facts. One can’t deny the facts no matter how strongly you oppose them. Let’s take a ride back and admire the 3 years performance of the PTI government.
We have made a list of areas that PM Imran Khan revolutionized during his 3 years of government.
Social Sector
The 3 years of the PTI government benefited the whole nation equally. PM Imran Khan tried to uplift all the factions of society with a special focus on the poor and vulnerable people of the country.

Ehsaas Program
An initiative that resonates perfectly with the vision of Imran Khan i.e., to turn Pakistan into a welfare state. This program was introduced in 2019 with the sole purpose to ensure social safety and poverty alleviation. Ehsaas is an umbrella program constituting around 288 policies and initiatives and the list continues to grow. It is the biggest initiative taken in the history of Pakistan.

Overseas Pakistanis
The vision of Imran Khan is to make a welfare state involved in the contribution of overseas Pakistanis. PM Imran Khan wants to give the overseas Pakistanis a chance to play a bigger role in the progress of the country by granting them the right to vote. This step showed the overseas Pakistani’s importance to the country. Moreover, in the three years of the PTI government, the highest record of remittances collection was achieved.

All this in 3 years of PTI government, just imagine what would the Prime Minister Imran Khan would have achieved if he had been given the chance to complete 5 years of government. PTI government’s achievements in these 3 years felt like 30 years. There are many other great things that the PTI government did and one of them is staying a ‘corruption-free’ government. We thank the PM Imran Khan and the PTI government for staying loyal to the country and making efforts to turn Pakistan into a progressive state.
