The founding father of Pakistan Mr. Mohammad Ali Jinnah said that, “Think a hundred times before you take a decision, but once that decision is taken, stand by it as one man.” When Mr Jinnah uttered these words neither he had a fully functioning bureaucracy nor such expertise as the country was yet in its incipient stage. But still these lines tell us Mr. Jinnah emphasized on the importance of contemplating on things way before we start to implement the plan.
Now our Prime Minister has come up with his new verdict that those who do not walk back on their words are not considered to be true leaders, he further went on to give examples of Hitler and Napoleon that it was their obdurate nature that lead to their failures. But little does Khan know that. We the people of Pakistan pay billions of rupees to the employees working in various departments and it is their job to improvise strategies and plans which should vet over issues and any sort of repercussions.
It seems the Prime Minister thinks he has the acumen and mental acuity that all the personnel combined in all the ministries do not possess and takes decisions after consulting his spiritual healer come wife which leads him to eat humble pies time and again.Rather than taking U-turns again and again khan should revisit what Mr.Jinnah said.His over confidence will not run the country but well worked on strategies would.
