ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan made his maiden speech as PM yesterday and addressed the nation with a detailed agenda to build a progressive ‘Naya Pakistan’.
In his wide-ranging speech, the PM announced a number of measures aimed at austerity, getting rid of loans, domestic resource mobilization and reforms in education, health and agriculture sectors.
Expressing remorse over the lavish lifestyle of former rulers, he suggested that we should adopt austerity and cut heavy expenditures. He also deliberated on how Pakistan got stuck under huge foreign debt.
Vowing to make Pakistan an Islamic welfare state through all-encompassing reforms in different spheres of life, the newly-elected prime minister requested masses to bring change in their personal lives.
The address witnessed worldwide with Pakistani’s glued to the screen for more than an hour. People couldn’t help admire and applaud his determination and enthusiasm into making Pakistan great again.
Twitter users couldn’t stop themselves brusting out words of admiration and hope as they ready themselves for a ‘Naya Pakistan”.
I have been focusing on prime ministerial addresses for the past 30 years. Never heard a PM speak his heart out the way PM Imran Khan did a while ago

PM @ImranKhanPTI touched masses by his address as he talked about their issues with solutions. Happy to hear about plans for Karachi which was neglected for quite sometime. I wish and pray that he is able to execute whatever he has planned for a prosperous Pakistan. #PMIKAddress

Imran Khan is being apologetic for getting two cars and bare minimum security with nation’s tax money.
Have you ever seen a PM like that before?

I’m in awe of Imran Khan. Talked about maternal mortality, stunted growth and illiteracy not just as a matter of fact but with proof, statistics and CT scans. Not only giving his speech but rather educating the masses. Wow PM 👏🏼
