The problem with IK’s handling of the corona crisis is his personality. Which has been the same for as long as I can remember even if his political ideologies have shifted.

The two main issues with that personality is that:

1. Irresponsibility.
2. His hypocrisy.
His entire life he’s shirked responsibility.

His entire life he’s not worked a real job, he didn’t even take any responsibility for raising his own children and in politics even in 2013 when elected in KPK he took no responsibility for governance there. In 2020 it’s the same.
In 2020 with his corona handling we have seen him come on TV countless times to lecture the country on definitions of lockdown and shutdown but offering no plan and taking no responsibility for how to deal with the health and economic challenges created by COVID 19.
Instead his troll farms on social media are busy blaming the “jahil awam.” Even though it was IK himself telling the public “its just a flu.”
That’s the thing, IK always has a scapegoat, always has excuses and never takes any responsibility.

The second thing is the hypocrisy. His government issues SOPs about social distancing and masks and bla bla bla. IK himself is photographed breaking those rules again and again.
But that’s not surprising considering IK’s history.

He complains about people not paying taxes while he lives in a 300 kanal mansion and pays less tax than many middle class families.
His government tells people to stop traveling around and spreading the virus. Stops people from going to murree.

Guess what IK does? Goes on a vacation to Nathiagali full protocol and all.
Awam sees this. They see IK not taking it seriously. So they ofc think well if the virus is so serious then why is IK not obeying any of the SOPs?

And this is where the conspiracy theories emerge from...
