Who are the members of Pakistan's top new economic leadership team? Who's Reza Baqir? Who's Shabbar Zaidi? Why were the changes necessary? Were the latest changes made to remove previous PMLN government's loyalists considered to be responsible for the current economic crisis? Did their policies and actions contribute to large twin deficits? Did the International Monetary Fund (IMF) force these changes as a condition for the country's bailout?

As Pakistan awaits the news of the discovery of large offshore oil reserves, what lessons should Pakistan learn from the governance failures in Venezuela? Is Venezuela suffering because of its government's hostility toward the United States? Will large oil reserves be a panacea for Pakistan's economic problems?

Viewpoint From Overseas host Faraz Darvesh discusses these questions with Sabahat Ashraf (ifaqeer) and Riaz Haq (www.riazhaq.com)

Any News issued by the TV channels is supposed to be routinely checked for authenticity, especially if it is about a very high profile appointment. I doubt if this News was an "Unintentional" error. IMHO, it was deliberate misinformation because such news would become viral on social media. The correction issued later is only meant to save the Channel from the "Defamation" lawsuit.

The damage has already been done. Even my Pakistani Halal Meat seller knew about it and commented that PTI is making aTax Thief Chairman of Tax collection. Who reads about the correction and many people abroad would not know about it as the correction would not be viral like the accusation.

Frankly speaking; I don't think that the concentrated efforts by all those would be affected by his appointment would let him succeed. Unfortunately, even though every Pakistani would declare that he is willing to sacrifice his life for the country; he would not be ready to pay taxes on his income nor would he pass up the opportunity of lining his pocket with the illegal gains.
