Defence Minister Khawaja Asif responded to Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi's call for a governance overhaul by urging Naqvi to initiate the change within his own ministry and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

He also advocated for a revolution within the PCB, where he serves as a member.

The proposal has sparked debates, with some groups opposing its constitutional validity and demanding changes in specific regions.
