The admission of systemic failure by a high-ranking official signals significant political instability and potential upcoming shifts in Pakistan's administrative structure.
New Delhi: Pakistan’s system of governance has “collapsed” and is no longer capable of addressing its mounting political and economic challenges, the country’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said Thursday. Naqvi, known to be close to Army Chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, went on to say that Pakistan’s “cockroaches” could overturn the country if they united.
As a Shia, Naqvi take a unique place in Pakistan’s power structure; he’s also a key part of the country’s relationship with neighbouring Iran, making him even more vital amid Islamabad’s ongoing effort to mediate in the West Asia conflict.
