ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan called for an important meeting on Tuesday in the federal capital to review the party’s ‘100-day plan’.

The meeting was called as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led government completes the first 100 days in power.

According to reports, senior members of the party, federal ministers, advisers and special assistants have been called by the premier.

The ministries and divisions have been directed to present reports on progress on the 100-day plan.

The meeting is also expected to finalise targets of the plan that have been completed.

PM Imran is scheduled to address the nation on November 29 regarding progress in the plan.

Furthermore, issues regarding governance, the cabinet’s decisions, and the government’s austerity plans will be discussed as well. PM Imran is also expected to receive a briefing on performance of the advisers.

Performance of the federal ministries of communication, information, environmental change, railways, housing and privatisation will be evaluated and a briefing will also be given over the matter.

Additionally, the meeting will review progress on public welfare projects.

 

In May this year, PTI announced its 100-day plan that identified targets the party promised to aim for if it emerged victorious in the July 25 elections.

Targets in this regard included strengthening governance, improving social services, ensuring the country’s national security, improving agriculture and water conservation and revitalising economic growth.

Furthermore, concrete goals identified included FATA’s merger into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, provision of 5 million new homes, creation of 10 million new jobs, full implementation of National Action Plan (NAP), creation of South Punjab province and protection of the rights of women.

“All policies under this 100 days agenda will look into how to make education, employment and other basic rights accessible to the common man,” Imran Khan said in May when the party revealed the plan.

“A civilised society is not known by how many big houses are constructed in Defence Housing Authorities, or now in Bahria [Town], but how people in the slums live,” he added.

“These 100 days reflect the path for which the country was made,” he emphasised.
