Mohsin Naqvi Says Shehbaz Sharif Will Complete His Five-Year Term
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said there was no uncertainty about the future of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government.
According to the supplied material, Naqvi stated that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would remain in office for the full duration of his constitutional term.
“The future for the government is the completion of its five-year tenure. Shehbaz Sharif will remain the prime minister for five years. He will complete his five-year term,” Naqvi said, as quoted by The Dawn.
The statement came after his earlier comments at the Pakistan Economic Summit generated intense political speculation over whether the current government faced internal instability.
Why Naqvi’s Earlier Remarks Created a Political Storm
The Controversy began when Mohsin Naqvi declared during the Pakistan Economic Summit that the country’s governance system had “collapsed.”
The remarks quickly attracted attention because of Naqvi’s influential position within Pakistan’s government and his reported close ties to Army Chief Asim Munir.
Observers interpreted the comments in different ways, with some viewing them as criticism of the existing administrative framework and others questioning whether they reflected deeper tensions within Pakistan’s political establishment.
The debate intensified because Pakistan has a complex power structure in which civilian governments and the military have historically shared influence over national affairs.
Naqvi Also Spoke of a Major Corruption Scandal
In another high-profile statement cited in the source material, Naqvi claimed authorities had uncovered what he described as the largest corruption scandal in Pakistan’s history.
He alleged that the case involved judges, bureaucrats and politicians, while also stating that every individual found responsible would face legal action.

These remarks further fueled speculation about possible political or administrative changes within the country.
Clarifying the ‘System Collapse’ Comment
Addressing reporters on Thursday, Naqvi maintained that Pakistan’s governance system required major reforms but rejected suggestions that his criticism was directed specifically at the Shehbaz Sharif government.
Instead, he said he had been referring to Pakistan’s long-standing administrative structure.
“The system that has been in place for the last 80 years is destroyed. If it had been functioning, Pakistan would have reached new heights,” Naqvi said.
According to Naqvi, his remarks should be understood as criticism of institutional shortcomings accumulated over decades rather than an assessment of the current administration alone.
Praise for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif
While defending his earlier comments, Naqvi also praised Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s work ethic.
He said the prime minister regularly works long hours and argued that stronger administrative systems would allow the government to deliver even better results.
“If you have a prime minister who works 14 to 16 hours a day, and if the current situation improves, the results will be a thousand times better,” Naqvi said.
He further suggested that a more effective governance framework would have enabled the prime minister to advance the country’s development even further.
