Jemima Khan talking about Naya Pakistan
After almost four days of protests and riots throughout Pakistan over Asia Bibi case’s verdict, PTI’s leadership finally tried to manage the commotion. The PM had earlier told the people of Pakistan, in a national address, that riyasat will deal with those wreaking havoc. Soon, however, a document listing all the “deals” made between TLP and the government were released.
Even though this put an end to all the riots and dharnas – people all over the nation are not happy.
Jemima Khan also expressed her disappointment with the government bending over to make a deal and she lashed out at, uh oh, Naya Pakistan
Not the Naya Pakistan we’d hoped for. 3 days after a defiant & brave speech defending the judiciary, Pakistan’s gov caves in to extremist demands to bar #AsiaBibi from leaving Pak, after she was acquitted of blasphemy- effectively signing her death warrant https://t.co/YwUpRM8cnu

The ex-wife of PM Imran Khan took to Twitter to express her dismay on the whole situation. She states that after giving the kind of speech Imran Khan did – defending the judiciary – this is not what was expected of the government.
However, she still tries to look at the positive side of all this matter.
Still hoping there’s some plan afoot which we don’t know about.

While others are sharing in their disappointment with Jemima Khan about Naya Pakistan
Didn’t you ever realise that your husband is master of u-turns also since @ImranKhanPTI supported TLP in 2017 the speech was waste of breadth

People are saying that they are more hopeless now, like Jemima Khan with naya situation
So far PMIK has shown from his acts that he can only speak loud and promise but cant act on them. All the promises he made were bypassed one by one. Naya Pakistan can't me made by just intentions and sayings as it will require hard and practical steps.

This dude just went ahead and accused her of being a Yahoodi agent
