As much as attempts to rid the entire country of the last traces of corruption are appreciated, it is now clear that the prime minister’s favourite “no NRO” mantra has become his government’s standard reflex action response to all questions. The economy, instead of improving, is much worse off because the finance minister preferred to grope in the dark instead of formulating a workable strategy. And every time someone asks a question about the dismal performance, the government snaps back with the same no NRO line, implying of course that the questioning is just a pressure tactic aimed at softening PTI’s position. How different, really, is this situation from the PML-N days that used to upset Imran Khan so much? And, sure enough, if anybody asks the government any of this they are likely to be greeted with the same response, “no NRO.”
