Picture just for reference  The State of Pakistani Politics: Reflections on PTI, Leadership, and the Road Ahead 1. Public Disillusionment with PTI Pakistan’s political scene has been dominated by daily protests, constant media scrutiny, and a growing public sense of frustration. While PTI’s supporters and some media commentators continue to push narratives, the people have largely rejected these messages. Even abroad-based YouTubers spreading misleading or anti-Pakistan content have failed to sway public opinion.
