Very informative podcast.Before the 2024 general elections, many scholars and professionals wrote in various newspapers, including Dawn, about the slogans of political parties. They noted that the slogans of almost all mainstream political parties were similar. However, the methods for implementing these measures were largely absent. What was most interesting about this podcast was that, apart from clearly pointing out the issues facing Pakistan, Miftah Ismail provided viable solutions and remedies for every sector.

I was watching a podcast where former FBR minister Shabbar Zaidi mentioned that General Bajwa asked him not to impose taxes on properties because many of his associates are in the property business.

[@zpah007]

I like Miftah, he’s a good honest and sensible politician one of the few ones. But privatisation can not be the solution for every single problem. Education and basic utilities are a necessity for every citizen. Private industry is only interested in profit. There will be no incentive to invest in badly run industries. Privateers will bleed them dry and then walk away with their profits. These government run entities need to weed out the incompetent box tickers who are only interested in holding onto their job for life and not running their departments correctly. If you run a nationalised industry like a private corporation where policies that are actually good for the industry instead of the people with a vested interest, where poor management gets you fired instead of a slap on the wrists there is no reason it won’t succeed

[@AsimKhan-ub5mj]

AA. Please make a video on whether Pakistan should declare default in light of the following arguments: 1) Our interest payments on debt this year will be 9000 Billion Rs and are thus more than 50 percent of our federal budget. This is unsustainable because we don't have enough left for other segments. For comparison, this amount is almost double the entire provinicial budget of Punjab and around 4 times our defence budget. 2) In order to pay this massive debt interest, the masses are beimg forced to pay colossal taxes which is making the lives of everyone miserable We would also like to know what the actual impact of default will be. Will our debts be written off? Will be able to import necessities like petrol, medicines etc? What other consequences will there be for the country? Thank you so much!

[@Englsh129]

It's very simple the money Pakistani governments and army borrow from the IMF most of which returns to international swiss accounts. The people of Pakistan have to pay that money back with interest by means of extremely high electricity and fuel prices also making the cost of basic neccessities sky rocketting. But people like this man will complicate things just to avoid telling the truth to keep you in the loop and keep the blame on everything else other than their own incompitence.

Question is that paying interests of coal plants in CPEC and no infrastructure for transmission of the power produced makes the project unviable turning into huge losses ultimately assets going into the hands of financer. In this case coal plant itself having depreciating value , the country is left with damaged huge losses.
