PM Imran Khan says not afraid of criticism

Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said that his government is not afraid of media criticism as it helps the government evaluate and improve governance, ARY News reported.

Speaking to a group of senior journalists in the federal capital, the PM maintained that media is free to criticize all policies and measures the new government takes, adding that it helps government resolve outstanding issues.

He, however, added that the media should at least give the PTI-led setup at provincial and federal level  three months time to improve the level of governance.

About the newly-elected Chief Minister Punjab, he said that Usman Buzdar is a “brave man” and will prove with time that choosing him to run the most populous province of the country was a right decision.

Answering a question about using a helicopter to commute between PM Office and his residence, the PM maintained that he uses the chopper for he doesn’t want to cause inconvenience to common people.

About his plans for foreign visits, the premier said that he will stay in the country to focus on state policy and improving the standard of governance at least for a year before embarking on foreign visits.

Young girl’s tragic story makes her symbol of Yemen war

Buthaina Mansur al-Rimi’s life has changed drastically since last year — orphaned in Sanaa, the little girl controversially ended up in Saudi Arabia for medical care and has just returned to Yemen’s capital. Her entire immediate family was wiped out in an air strike by a Saudi-led coalition that backs Yemen’s government, using an explosive device Amnesty International says was made in the US. Images of Buthaina’s rescue and a picture of her swollen and bruised at a hospital trying to force open one of her eyes with her fingers were beamed worldwide. That international fame saw her become something of a propaganda pawn in the war between Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels and Saudi media. “I was in my mother’s room with my father, sisters, brother and uncle, the first missile hit, and my father went to get us sugar to get over the shock, but then the second missile hit, and then the third,” she says. “And then the house fell,” adds the little girl, who says she is eight.
