As the PTI government completes three years in power, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday presented to the nation a review of his party's performance so far at the Jinnah Convention Centre in Islamabad.
"I'm not sure if he has more talent for singing or governance," PM Imran said about the governor's performance.
He recalled the time when his party was nascent and "had just five to six people who were mocked for being PTI representatives".
Following this, PM Imran harked back to his career as a cricketer, explaining how his life as a sportsman, "where there are standing ovations one moment and curses the next", prepared him for a life of struggles.
"Until you go through struggles, you cannot do anything big," the prime minister said. "No leader became big with a shortcut. Quaid-e-Azam was a big leader. He struggled in his life and people will always remember him [for that]."
PM Imran detailed the struggles his government faced on the economic front over the first three years of their mandated five-year tenure, saying he had inherited a country heading towards bankruptcy.
"We had no capital to settle loans. We had no foreign exchange. The current account deficit we faced was of $20 billion. If Saudi Arabia, China and UAE had not helped us at the time, rupee would have declined further and caused us some real damage," he said.
"We had to go to the IMF and whoever you acquire loan from they set [certain] conditions," he added.
