(Web Desk) – Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) holds a very firm position, politically, all over Pakistan, especially in Punjab, KP, and in Centre. Federal capital is under its control just like it used to be under PML-N and PPP once. With this much power and scope, the newly-formed government has taken charge of the bed of thorns where a number of challenges are lying ahead.

Importantly, Prime Minister Imran Khan has started working quite ambitiously; this is the reason that he and his government have considered a lot of measures. Following are some of the steps which have been taken considering the fact that they are could have been easily ignored, but PTI took them.

Austerity measures

Imran Khan and his party took austerity measures to the next level. VVIP protocols and lavish living style of Prime minister and other political representatives, are sucking the national exchequer, Imran Khan decided to ban everything that was over-the-top. Though one can see a bit deviation from this policy, by some members of PTI, like taking protocol by Sindh Governor and other PTI’s member in Balochistan, but overall change was evident in protocol.

Lengthy protocols contracted from many cars to some. This actually happened because of the reason that Imran himself took it seriously and his party workers followed suit. His protocol has significantly been abridged and he himself is living in a PM military secretary’ house.

“I want to tell my people, I will live a simple life, I will save your money,” Khan said in his maiden speech.
