ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has conveyed to the critics and allies, particularly in Punjab, he was not going to replace his ‘Wasim Akram Plus’ as long as he was the chief executive of the country.
Reliable sources confided to NEWSMAN that he (Imran Khan) threw a challenge on the critics from within the Pakistan Tehreek -e-Insaf (PTI) and his key ally (Pakistan Muslim.League (PML -Q) that they have no option, but to bear Usman Buzdar as Punjab chief minister as long as he was the prime minister.
( I ‘m not going to change Usman Buzdar as Punjab chief minister come what may”, Imran Khan, accordimg to the sources , categorically conveyed to the critics and allies during a high level meetiing held in Lahore last week.
The Prime Minister, known for stuburn attitude, rather threw a challenge to the critics and said “If anyone is interested in bringing no confidence against Buzdar , he is free to do so ten times”.
As a result of dismal performance, demand to remove Buzdar as Punjab chief minister is growing from within PTI and its allies in Punjab.
The opponents of Buzdar are worried about their future politics. They fear Buzdar-style politcs and rule will damage their future politics.
Imran Khan is resisting moves surfacing time to time to replace Usman Buzdar since his elevation to top slot of Punjab in 2018. He always throws his unflunching support to Buzdar .
What is the reason of Imran Khan’s such an unfading confidence in his ‘Wasim Akram plus’? This question is yet a mystry for 220 million people of this country. However, a good number of the people who matter in power corridors do believe that Sardar Buzdar is a finding of Farhat Shahzadi, a lady from Lahore having close friendship with the first lady …Bushra Bibi and her influence was real power base of Usman Buzdar..
This is beyond any doubt that Usman Buzdar has miserably failed as a chief executive of Pakistan’s largest province (Punjab).. He,as was expected , proved a yesman to Imran Khan and during his tenure as chief executive of Punjab his decisions brought bad name and reputation to Imran Khan and PTI.
Imran Khan never cares about his critics and does not change his mind even in the worst case scenario.
The same attitude he has shown in the case of Usman Buzdar.
From the real power brokers to his party, he (Imran Khan) is not ready to accept Usman Buzdar was his bad choice as Punjab chief minister.
Even after spending more than half of tenure of his rule , Imran Khan is not ready to listen to the critics and allies in Punjab for replacing Usman Buzdar with some active and vibrant elected political personality so that he could deliver to the expectations of the people of Punjab.
According to the sources even real power brokers have asked Imran Khan more than once to take the demand of changing Buzdar with some reasonable and sharp elected representative of Punjab seriously , but he remained unmoved.
Many strongly believe that since Imran Khan is under huge spirtual influence of his spouse and her disagreement was a main factor of Imran Khan ‘s unflinching support for Usman Buzdar..
Our sources claim that in the meeting under debate , the prime minister had agreed to make major changes in Punjab once senate election is over. These changes, as per our sources, could be in the form of reshuffle in Punjab cabinet or in senior bureaucracy of the province.
