Well-placed sources informed that the campaign has been launched to malign the top officials, who are close to the PM, in order to build a pressure on the premier so that he could replace them with some new faces. They said that the purpose of the malicious campaign against the PTI-led provincial governments and the top bureaucrats is not because of their performance but just to weaken the premier. Sources further said that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) adopted multi-pronged strategies after it failed to get public out in their rallies. These selected people are seemingly given the task to run a vigorous campaign against the government’s policies by highlighting the inflation and other issues to ignite the public sentiments against the premier, the sources said. The government had initiated a number of public welfare projects but only a few of those projects could get due attention in media as such projects further the popularity of the premier, they concluded.
