The mistakes already committed by the government, which include a fading economy and an insulated foreign policy are hazardous for the state. Furthermore, political volatility is being witnessed in the country.

Meanwhile, Pakistan, has been trying to overcome the encumbrance of high public debt along with a crisis of balance of payments which has led to consistent monetary compression. Industries are facing a forced shut down all over the country with economy on the brink of crumpling. Consequently, millions of workers have been thrown out of their jobs

Lately, PTI has encountered grave political hindrances which are very alarming for the ruling party. Recent developments in the country’s internal politics advocate that troublesome environment is concocting for the ruling party.

There are speculations about the future of PTI in the wake of forthcoming challenges. There is a likelihood of civil-military challenges gaining momentum. A fear of conflict among the national institutions might create hurdles for the government. In view of the present scenario, it seems tough for PTI government to bring the economy on a sound footing.

The opposition too, has joined hands to get rid of the present government. PTI government’s days seem to be numbered as the people are getting fed up with the so called ‘selected’ command. Pak Destiny
