Pakistan Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will complete his five-year term, seeking to end speculation about possible political changes before elections due in 2029. Naqvi had earlier said Pakistan’s governance system had “collapsed” at the Pakistan Economic Summit. He later clarified that he meant the country’s 80-year-old administrative system, not the prime minister. Naqvi also claimed he had uncovered Pakistan’s “biggest corruption scandal”, allegedly involving judges, bureaucrats and politicians, and promised prosecutions. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif called Naqvi a “powerhouse”. Naqvi said some people were trying to create differences between him and Sharif, according to India Today.
