I have always maintained that Imran Khan needs intensive psychiatric treatment, and his many U-turns and stupid actions have proved me right. His associates must also be disillusioned with him, as he has completely ignored most of them in making appointments. There are many men and women in his cabinet who do not belong to PTI, and there were many suitable candidates for posts such as the one held by Ms Firdous Ashiq Awan, the information minister (who, it is rumored, got the job because of her friendship with the prime minister's spouse). 

But, now that he has made the most surprising U-turn of all (so far), even his close associates must be looking for a competent psychiatrist to treat their boss. The appointment of Ali Jehangir Siddiqui as a global ambassador must have shocked many in the party. When this man was appointed ambassador to the U.S., the PTI strenuously opposed his appointment (like they opposed everything the previous government did). After his removal by the PTI, Ali Jehangir became a special assistant to the prime minister (Shahid Khaqan Abbasi). This should have been enough to convince the paranoid Imran Khan and his equally paranoid followers to shun Ali Jehangir. Yet Imran has given him a prestigious job, for which many in the PTI were suitable. 
After this latest U-turn, I feel that  not only Imran Khan needs to be treated, his whole cabinet and all those who still want him to continue as prime minister also need urgent psychiatric treatment.
