August 20: Dawn report by Syed Irfan Raza states that in his first address to the nation a day after assuming the prime minister’s office, Imran Khan on Sunday vowed to transform Pakistan into a true “Islamic welfare state” with the focus of his government on overcoming foreign debt, austerity, reforms in the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and other institutions, eradication of corruption, retrieving the money stashed abroad and creation of jobs. The prime minister, who refrained from attacking his opponents much in his 70-minute recorded speech, pledged to bring about significant “change” in people’s lives through economic reforms including investment incentives and improvement in tax system.
