The speaker should know better. He is not saying anything that has not been said before. Like the rest, as a trapped man, he has become a chatterbox. In India, they don’t talk. Too busy running industries. Too busy running high- tech sectors. Too busy figuring out how to run industrial sector more efficiently. Too busy churning out high-tech graduates. Too busy to pull out B S.

Nonsense .. they’re at the stage where they don’t need to do the discussion. While as, in Pakistan if I want to get busy with things u think u will get success ? And you think in Pakistan there aren’t people who r doing anything or want to do anything ?? Problem is the economy situation is so bad that no matter what u do (get busy doing ), u can’t get the desired results unless the system is fixed. So he’s trying to give u the analysis of how bad the system and what needs to be done to fix it. Once it’s fixed then everyone will get busy doing things. And why do u people always give example of india ? Can u compare India wihh China and see where they both stand in respect to each other ?? If you agree that india is far behind of China, that’ means plenty of things went wrong or r going wrong in India as well? So should u follow China or india ? There is no better example of rapid growth in this world than China. U don’t have to follow their governance template , but the economy policies.

Without justice, a society can't flourish. Do we have justice in our country?

Pakistanis will work in between their religious practices and hence to sustain Pakistan financially IMF, China and other countries must give financial support

[@latchmansukhdeo4896]

PHD in Pakistan!! That's a joke. That's just like your pilot license. And that's not being sarcastic.

[@bharathfsf3686]

The main problem with the Pakistan Government regardless of the political party is they heavily distrust Pakistanis in running the businesses/projects. Just look at how they roll the red carpet for foreign investors and SECP. Single window clearance and all. Why can't the government do the same thing for Pakistanis? It's called an Aid-Debt trap when the creditor gives excessive credit for political/economic leverage. Like when America has provided aid to Pakistan during wars and China with CPEC. Rest of the times it's just incompetence of the government for not properly utilising the aid/debt money. The role of the government should be formulation of policy and making policies to improve the country. Governments should never run industries/business unless it's an essential/basic utility like Power and Water.

5- 10 % Intelligentsia of Pakistan have been sidelined by VESTED INTEREST. This starta of society isn't involved, how a society can prosperous. This Segment must be involved at their own conditions. They need 100% security of their thoughts. Either you like/ dislike.

Those is just pathetic. This level of ignorance of the most basic teachings of Islam. Islam offers every encouragement for taking money from Unbelievers. In fact the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) repeatedly made Muslims rich by doing do. Islam only prohibits returning any money to unbelievers.

[@TanujAbhayKhanna]

You pakistanis are converts. You're not muslims like Arabs are. Shah se zyada shah ke wafadaar na banein. Apni family tree ke baare main pata karein.
