PTI Government has come to power on the novel slogan and ideology of “change”. Twenty months have
become the part of past but up-till-now even the signs of change are obviously remote to be seen even
in next three years to come. During election campaign people seemed so enthusiastic and enchanted by
the slogans of change, as if it is sure to come and their fortunes are bound to be changed. PTI’s slogans
were so popular as every young and old was enamoured of I.K’s ideological, visionary change. General
people thought that this time the real “Savior” has arrived to save them from injustice and basic
amenities of life would be within their easy access. Poor masses presumed that the “savior” is sincere
with them and an exemplary atmosphere is sure to prevail and clouds of disharmony, injustice,
lawlessness, unemployment, poverty, unnecessary economic burden would be dispelled from national
horizon. Looming large fears of uncertain future would disband, never to appear again. Revolutionary
slogans of PTI got uncounted rehearsal and drum beating, to be presumed the order of the day. Day and
night national electronic and print media continued leading the nation to a heaven like atmosphere,
prevailing soon in the country. Youth of the nation who were ignored since long and despite having
enough caliber were not let the chance to join the Government service or given due encouragement to
start entrepreneur, to lead honourable existence and earn enough for the sustenance of their family and
old parents, who have educated them having cut their own stomach and basic amenities of life.
Bureaucracy, in Pakistan is a rampant horse, who is never to be tamed. Bureaucracy is a composite of so
hard elements which never come to terms but mould the circumstances as they like. Imran Khan was,
too, confident that bureaucracy has no enough guts to stall the implementation of PTI’s good
Governance. But here begins the moot point. Bureaucracy has assumed the role of “the advisor”. Since
the creation of Pakistan bureaucracy has multiplied its mushroom growth, to ramify itself to assume the
title of “the real rulers” of Pakistan. Contrary to the situation, the Bureaucracy has the ability to revert
the circumstances and create a baffling situation, to fish out of troubled waters. They knew the strategy
how to manoeuvre against troublesome situation. PTI’s revolutionary slogans had to face the same fate.
Even a single slogan has not been incarnated into reality. The price hike is gearing up day to day rise and
the same is not to get stalemate even despite repeated solacing prophecy of Imran Khan,
unemployment is rising to no check. Business community is between the devil and deep sea. Import and
export has seen rising decline. In synopsis, one cannot allude even a single arena of life, which has not
been disturbed, even to no end. Bureaucracy has turned turtle the shabby cart of PTI, in its initial rolling.
The stalwarts of bureaucracy misappropriate national resources to avail themselves, for their own
pedigree’s benefit. Their family members often have dual nationalities of advanced countries.
Bureaucrats are machines of earning and their foreign assets are growing fatty day by day, as they draw
money from public exchequer on paper and fake projects. PTI as well NAB has no intention except to
crucify PPP and PML(N). The covenanted bureaucracy has diverted the channel of accountability to the
two parties PPP and PML(N) only, in furtherance of their nefarious motives. Political parties endeavour
hard to continue their existence and prolong their ruling era but the maneuvering bureaucracy is half-
hearted to let the PTI to remain in the power corridor for long, they make hectic efforts to see PTI the
same fate as that of its predecessors-PPP, PML(N), and continue the power chair game to no end, to
aggrandize their own person and power, leading the all channels of national resources to their own
homes not to the benefit of poor people who have pinned their hopes since long in the wait of ‘the
savior’. Bureaucracy has maneuvered to implicate PTI in multi-pronged issues to weaken and restrain it
to the mere struggle of its own existence, not to let PTI erode the safeguarding iron wall around their
composite texture
