Sometime, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf looks like a bunch of unruly boys, who often resort to both political and apolitical antics to seek the attention of their leader, Prime Minister Imran Khan, media and the public, regardless of the sequences. One such incident of friendly fire has come from maverick minister Fawad Chaudhry who has questioned the delivery and performance of the federal authorities and the Punjab government. He has written a letter to the prime minister, and conveniently leaked it to the media, accusing the government of Usman Buzdar of failing to deliver, subsequently creating a bad name for the party. The letter raised questions over the wisdom of the prime minister to install and protect CM Buzdar. Before the letter, the minister fired venom against the introvert Buzdar in a PTI core committee meeting chaired by the prime minister himself. Now, a few days after Chaudhry’s outburst, Buzdar has directed his public relations department to respond to allegations of inefficacy. His information minister, Fayyazul Hassan Chohan, has turned to the media to refute Chaudhry’s allegation of not spending enough on development projects. Armed with figures and facts, the provincial minister says so far Rs178 billion have been utilised under the Annual Development Programme and Rs42 billion under public-private partnerships, the highest in the first two quarters of a fiscal year during the last five years. Not only spending, the Punjab government has demonstrated a good performance on the collection of revenues front. As per minister’s claim Punjab’s tax collection rate is 104 per cent. Some unique facts of Buzdar’s government have many firsts in the history of the Punjab government. For the first time, the Punjab government has devised crucial policies; for the first time, expenditures have been reduced. South Punjab is getting dedicated allocations for the first time. On the legislation front, Buzdar has carried out record legislation in the Punjab Assembly in 18 months. What has made Chaudhry and several other lawmakers target Buzdar? This only shows fragmentation in the ruling party and the razor thin majority in Punjab and the centre makes the whole thing quite precarious. Despite several of prime minister’s statements that Buzdar will not be replaced, PTI leaders and rank and file keep hinting at a change in Punjab. It is time the prime minister turns his head towards his own house, before criticising the opposition, and discipline his own party. *
