stranglehold on this country's politics. they fly south to suddenly a subset of us are just out. to find out exactly funny under. the i don't know what you can't get are you serious negative and ron hubbard about being totally anti-corruption having zero tolerance for it and how he sort of actually pointed fingers at poor people's party and and the two largest parties of pakistan as being corrupt and being just sponsible for all that is happening here in this country nobody thought it's going to take off the people of pakistan are so tolerant of corruption as being a part of the political elite that this narrative will never take off but that narrative did take off and this year after a bitterly contested general election khan and his pakistan that he can soft

finally achieve the power he so desperately craved imran khan promised that the first months of his government would start an irreversible process of change of ending corruption and building a powerful economy of looking after minority communities and refocusing the country's foreign policy he pledged in other words to create a whole new pakistan. i'm a pakistani television journalist and over the last fifteen years i followed him on hans long journey from the political margins to the top job now i'm curious to see how he'll manage the realities of power when he be able to keep his promises. watching the freshly elected prime minister amid all the pomp and circumstance and

being greeted by the powerful military who have ruled pakistan for nearly forty years it was hard to escape the thought that he'd been handed a poisoned chalice. not one of his be decisive in the last seventy years since pakistan came into existence as. yet imran khan was determined to show that he could hit the ground running he is the first pakistani politician to announce one hundred day agenda for his new government. your hundred years rule is gone but the hundred. when. he was a dog. most of your. party. is a subset of the string. obs. opposite

of daughter. so how is that one hundred day plan going. to city its commercial and financial center its largest and the gateway to the rest of the country it's a good place to assess the government's progress chances of success. supporters would like to give him more time but the first one hundred days have been marked by rising expectations espouse and express their despair and frustrations the injustices they have suffered so long hoping the new government

will offer them some comfort and. thank you in a moment. i'm very. glad i'm not not very. kind to me and i know my giving think i'm. from protests about police shootings and college and gun put in stickles that something be done about for didn't build it's this demo has it all a pot pourri of complaints and problems and demands they want to run hard to address. today we are here to show solidarity with anonymous patterns and i don't know died on thirteenth of august in a shoot out. they were not caught and. after the market what do you expect from the people because now they are in power the government forced off on their promise the police has promised to change the rules off

automatic weapons on the street so they are there should not just talk about it and they must change it physically we have still not seen that change secondly we hope that more that there is a law that hospitals must provide emergency care so i hope that nor will be implemented and implemented in its true sense that he was not. the one that the opposition i relied upon made the limitation on the right i mean we focus on his policies no one hundred days is nearly over prime minister we expectations are still arriving. yet. demands for justice and an end to corruption have been a recurring theme in this country for many years but although the new government has moved against its political opponents like previous administrations who have promised much it has still to challenge the powerful vested interests that truly

dominate pakistan despite the need for it to do so. you need better. jobs in the wake. of this beautiful residential suburb was built recently but behind the facade is a story of intimidation forced evacuations and violence. i mean. nearly two hundred villages were forced out of their homes big business groups with a link. with local politicians and police but most of them off those who resisted soon. baluch and his elderly father didn't.

join models i mean i will not as i mean not come out and told me that you need this no one will budge on those we're going to mean work don't carry. out a battle in the corners. but a bad car very corner case god will judge that abolish scale but when those in a television show but a bad guy over dildo. has a meaning it. is fighting his case through the courts but the pakistani judicial system is notoriously slow and skewed to favor the rich and powerful cases take months even years before a final judgment is made more to the point there's no sign yet that in my hands government is doing very much to tackle land mafias or other powerful individuals homo buckeye's a professor karachi university a political analyst and an expert in international relations pakistan it is i mean

i hate to use this that actually mafias. the people's trival on it and i personally think ron has no idea what he's against what he's actually fighting against and what kind of resistance would come and not just from the politicians go away to come from all quarters if he spits the identical of this anti-corruption construct was. in fact within a few weeks of han taking office the pakistani media was reporting on the financial wrongdoing of some of his own ministers the birkie works for one of the country's leading english language newspapers. some of their party members themselves are facing allegations have faced allegations previously as well particularly in the. previous government and. so one would have wanted them to start

cleaning house first and then move on to allegations and you know what they do they come on t.v. and they talk about corruption cases and they keep talking about corruption on the opposition so maybe if they sort of went a little more had a little more introspection and started off from their own party that would make a difference also i think they will get caught up in this rhetoric eventually in any case because it's not as simple corruption isn't as simple to get off. so how exactly will the government keep its own house in order. it's a question i took to moran is smiled one of the co-founders of the p.t.i. party and now the governor of the sin the province we believe in starting accountability from ourselves the prime minister present himself first to the authorities saying you can start from me and then go down to others i'm not saying

that all everyone in. this government is an angel there must be people who don't believe in our agenda or program but you know everybody is going to learn the lesson we're not going to spare anyone we have from susan going we're from our position we from any walk of life we'll treat everyone the same. do her justice just rhetoric well it remains to be seen but so far fine words have yet to translate into action. eliminating corruption wasn't the only major change that imran khan promised during the election he also pledged to turn around pakistan's ailing economy and create jobs but what are you going to write. but just are coming there's something kind of going on here by sentiment. that i generally hear i'm going to have in your mind marsh issues usually i'm lucky anybody

thomastown but just sit there and shout and just watch on t.v. . i'm just observe i must have been got into one of the not. but within days of coming to power the new government was forced to face some harsh truths with an increase in imports and very low exports the pakistani rupees has dropped in value leading to a rise in inflation and price increases across the board i don't look a supermarket i met shies the big i'm a widow trying to make ends meet living on a pension. so what did you expect the first one hundred days to be like you know whatever is happening everything is going no go over what you expect. because i'm really doing. what do you want that eventually it will come down also you don't want the crisis to come down inflation to come off course and that's the expectation they see their stick friction because inflation is more than the

property is it. next i wanted to find out how the price rises and economic crisis were going down with iran hans most devoted supporters. in a could actually suburb i found professor she and her family all voted for the p.p.i. in the last elections saw then i guess it was a very. vocal at the end so than me forty looking as a whole the other side is the house of what are you what do you. all of us all of a. startled. all reform little initial guardian on or something a ball team which can got a hot michigan comp drawn on a stock. but for the moment such ambitious plans remain just that the new government has no money to finance them in the past imraan khan had been

scathing about getting any foreign aid or help. hummingbird up the number to a gun i am not he said because i don't want to put out because then we learn. to live. now in power in iran han has done a u. turn he has gone for an economic bailout from the south the government then from the chinese and finally the i.m.f. this being the twenty second time in seventy years that a pakistani government has asked the i.m.f. for help. at one of could all she's leading universities yes or been goalie is a dream of economic studies i wanted to know what he made the new government's policies. so what you're saying is that the government was not prepared had not done their homework their strike and how is that reflected

well the only confusion about whether to go to i mean for not good why. does the government ignore it was floundering instead to deter said will go in or even statements like i'll commit suicide but not. and on the same day the prime minister is making one statement of an interest in this series making another statement to have created this whole. mess in terms of perception. and then there was a confusing fury about one of khan's boyfriends to keep team of economic advisors around that highlighted some of the complex challenges on faces in getting his policies through. others me a is a respected economist and academic known internationally and throughout the muslim world. could be said to go nevertheless within days of his appointment and it was an uproar from the religious groups protesting that all the for me was from the

secretary and said to the congressman and therefore he should be dismissed from the government. the b.t.r. initially resisted. then a few days later the government did another u. turn and given. it was a political blunder it was very badly handled but i don't think he had any choice. and he realize that. and he realizes that if he goes the other way and chooses to retain him and sort of digs his heels on it it would backfire inveighs that would be very difficult for him to handle the main group behind the protest was a relatively new religious party that they take in the back pakistan who are the. holder is one of the leading activists it's another million year because you're kind of the only. who are in the pakistan love it more do the law

islam's or. was it just living there eager to help monitor. up the numbers are going to look at it look at the. core of your family pakistan accept to go there you go pick up because they've you know alison they're going to have a very well sort of. shorter than women coming up. a lot only an obvious home we bought twenty. we're going to draw i may. have been limited by me the deal became into existence a few years ago defending the killer of governess seed he was shocked by his bodyguard because as governor he had criticised the death sentence and the jailing of. a pakistani christian on charges of blasphemy. she spent ten years in jail

waiting for the judges to decide whether she was innocent or guilty on the thirtieth of october seventy days after moran hahn became prime minister the supreme court in islamabad decided he was innocent of all charges brought against her and set a free. a few hours later the t.l.b. and its supporters came out onto the streets bringing most cities to a standstill. they called for the three supreme court judges to be killed they declared the army chief to be a non muslim and called upon the army to dismiss him. a job or to say i am the team of the person whether you know there was a false alarm just on the cover was it was up to the other for support or a sizable to tell you this isn't a life the supreme court for the first of the waters earlier. that night imran khan went on television to warn the protesters to give up or face the full might of the

state. upness just gonna get up near vote bank it is. now clear was a gun to. appease him about it. but the next day as the protest increased in size the government did another turn and instead of using force to disperse the protesters they started negotiations the leadership of the appeal was not touched. bibi was not freed. the whole affair underlined some of the most intractable problems the han administration faces how do we work effectively within the constraints of an increasingly divided society at home and how to overcome the negative stereotypes of a groom. gibran nasr is one of pakistan's leading political activists

he is a lawyer and has been fighting for the rights of religious minorities in pakistan even the worst critics of the box and put it in soften the wrong con game in his support when he addressed the nation and he said documenting what allow anybody to join in to the street while he was addressing the leaders will take a look back and from them to deaden back off and retract and then sign off an agreement where most of the terms are agreed to for right now the mission is not feeling confident right now people are disappointed with the government and for the what needs to start is a process where national consensus is very dark read together as a nation cannot stand as a doctor would use a gun or scientists narrative because this is a regarding boarding our future generation this is about hijacking our national entity and ought to be as a muslim and we cannot allow died. nearly a month later the deal be leaders were picked up and charged with sedition and treason. the white in the pakistani flag represents the minorities that live over the years they've been threatened many have been killed some say the new government

has sent the minorities some very. mixed signals also wary pakistan's neighbors both india and afghanistan claim that attacks on their countries are carried out by groups based in pakistan charges that the pakistani government denies the united states has stopped all aid to the pakistani military in an attempt to put pressure on the new government to change its policy but it hasn't yet. what it has done is push the new government to become even closer to china losing the fine balance the previous governments have tried to maintain between the us and china. i think we have to strike a balance not just between china and the rows we have to strike a balance across the board even within the region you have to strike a balance between india and china and. india or on other countries that balance of

forces is the most logical thing i don't think it is a question of or. hurting the balance one way or the other. the balance at the moment is tilted towards china it has been investing heavily in pakistan and they are building a major highway from the southwest the port city of that once up and running it would reduce the journey time and cost of transporting chinese goods to the west by hot china pakistan on the board or boy. could transform the economy of pakistan and its foreign policy. i think there's a paradigm shift in the thinking of the establishment also and because we're going towards the scottish old politics connectivity is emerging as a theme for pox time and they don't they're now see it for the political and economic survival of fox them you see you can't have quarter dollars and the con

just stay empty got to do is means that they should be functional soviet need connectivity with the one the sun and connectivity with india for this to really happen to really do their turnaround that everybody's looking for. if this happens it would benefit the pakistani people and change their lives it is one iraq han has proud to do time after time for the past twenty years. his message is more valuable than any other political leader in the last forty years it's a stand now what has aroused meant passion in the ordinary people the context on the screen for a better future. if the last one hundred beats are anything to go by it's certainly going to be smooth sailing.
