Pakistan Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi says the country’s political and administrative governance model has “collapsed” and that repeated attempts to address problems within the current system have not worked. Speaking at the Pakistan Economic Summit in Islamabad, he argues Pakistan cannot continue relying on the same governance framework to solve economic and political challenges. Naqvi also links growing youth dissatisfaction to potential political upheaval, warning that a united generation of frustrated young people could “overturn everything.” In his remarks, he suggests meaningful structural reforms are needed, rather than relying primarily on military leadership. He calls for creating new administrative units or provinces, decentralising governance, and building political consensus around constitutional reforms to increase local community ownership and allow new leadership to emerge. Naqvi points to issues including unemployment, public debt, economic hardship, and ongoing security concerns in regions such as Balochistan, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as evidence that urgent change is required. Both outlets report the speech as a blunt assessment of governance failures and a warning about the impact of youth frustration.
