  "account": "Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Huzaifa Rehman compared Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s intelligence to that of renowned scientist Isaac Newton, stating that his IQ is \"close to Newton’s,\" according to ARY News. Rehman joked that he expects to remain in the cabinet due to his own IQ similarity to the prime minister's.\n\nShehbaz Sharif reportedly works from 6 am to 10 pm and holds weekly federal cabinet meetings. Rehman emphasized that the prime minister has no tolerance for corruption or incompetence, ensuring that unsatisfactory individuals are kept away from him. If a minister's performance does not meet expectations, they cannot expect to remain in his close circle, Rehman added.\n\nRehman made these remarks while responding to complaints from Qaiser Sheikh, who has claimed that the prime minister does not provide him with sufficient time for meetings. Last month, the prime minister removed Sheikh as chairman of a cabinet committee. Rehman advised any federal or provincial cabinet member with concerns to raise them at the cabinet forum. He referred to Sheikh as a senior figure, noting that individuals over 70 often have such grievances, also mentioning the age of PTI founder Imran Khan.\n\nRegarding criticism from federal minister Chaudhry Salik Hussain, Rehman stated that Salik belongs to an allied party, making it natural for coalition partners to raise reservations. Rehman described Salik as an honest person, free from any corruption allegations. He also praised Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, asserting that she ensures appointments in the province are made strictly on merit.",
