Pakistan is no longer pawns, jokes and bystanders on the world stage. Active, participative, relevant and accountable. This is a dramatic change from the past, and you can retroactively gain greater awareness. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>In their opinion articles, writers Farrukh Karim Khan and Saba Karim Khan summarize the difficulties and early rays that emerge under the vision of the current government and PM Imran.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The pace of reform is slow and bumpy, and many of the benefits don&#39;t rain right away, but look decisively in the right direction,&quot; they say.<\/p>\n<p>For the past 50 years Pakistan has been moving in the wrong direction. The authors pointed out that the situation in the political system \u201cpursuing a political and economic elite\u201d has deteriorated.<\/p>\n<p>The previous government&#39;s policies favored the poor part of society at the expense of the public.<\/p>\n<p>When the Imran government came to power, the government inherited numerous issues, including harsh economic problems, geopolitical changes caused by Kashmir, and unreasonable expectations from promises during elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Pakistan&#39;s economy, even with Pakistan&#39;s own standards, enormous inheritance and debt repayment caused immediate economic growth. But a deeper dive shows that yesterday&#39;s rent-seeking culture is finally strengthening. Encouraging export and import substitution without encouraging investment in imports of unproductive land and consumer goods is a long process. A country where productivity is steadily decreasing. After years of neglect, export investment is on the rise, and entrepreneurs have begun business on the basis of import substitution. &quot;<\/p>\n<p>The writers claim that they are the darkest before dawn and still see green shoots in politics, economy and technology.<\/p>\n<p>This article suggests that the imminent benefit is a move by the PTI government to expand its tax net, as the number of taxpayers increased 65{7be40b84a6a43fc4fae13304fce9a2695859798abfc41afd127b9f8b21c5f9c5} last year.<\/p>\n<p>According to the writer, Imran&#39;s leadership style has blossomed all over the world due to significant events such as the heightened tension between Fullan and Kashmir.<\/p>\n<p>The brokerage and brokerage requests for global issues such as the US-Afghanistan and the US-Iran were not tied to the same conviction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe road ahead is long and hard, but Khan&#39;s vision is starting to overturn the self-destructive path that Pakistan has been following for decades.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"voice-play-box play voice-bottom\">\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"play-news\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br
