Not long ago Margaret Thatcher was prime minister of England .She was known to be a strong-willed lady who suffered no fools and was determined to get things done in the time frame stipulated by her. She had kept the bureaucrats on their toes and would call a spade a spade and used to give a dressing down immediately to those officers who were found lax in the execution of her orders. In other words she was a go-getter. Small wonder she had earned the nick name of iron lady.
If one were to analyse the first 100 days in office of Punjab’s chief minister Maryam Nawaz one cannot resist saying that she appears to be a replica of Margaret Thatcher. The way she has been monitoring the execution of her orders for the uplift of the common man by breathing down the necks of civil servants and the police of the province has made many political observers liken her style of governance with that of former England’s prime minister. It seems she has the makings of a strong administrator.
The performance of chief ministers of other provinces in social sectors stale in comparison to hers
while rounding off debate on the budget of her province in the provincial assembly on last Friday she gave a taste of their own medicine to those MPAs who were trying to shout her down during her speech by refusing to cow down and paying them in their own coin.
