Question to all Pakistanis who agree with this.
Imagine India is granted MFN status and borders are opened. Pakistan's production capacity is at a historic,low thanks to the energy crisis.
Since Pakistan's produce capacity is down to its toes,it would barely meet the domestic consumer demand. Which means we won't be able to export anything substantial to India.
But,borders are open,it doesn't mean India cannot sell its produce in Pakistan. Which will create a 'mammoth' trade imbalance,turning Pakistan into an extended consumer market, 'unable to compete'.
Since there will be no market competetion,India with its large produce output will 'flood' Pakistani consumer market with dirt cheap goods (trade manopoly tactic),which will render the local production,or whatever is left of it,out of business.
All of those,high consumption produce,manufecturers will shut,facing overwhelming and deliberate flooding of cheap goods by India,leading to a huge spike in unemployment. It will also mean that the Indian rupee will spike against Pakistani ruppee putting a huge strain on our FOREX reserves.
When Pakistani production capacity will shut so will innovation,making way for India to sell high ticket items like cars,rendering Pakistani engineering into a hole.
I, am against granting India MFN status 'until' we solve our energy crisis, our industries are back and growing,able to compete with India on 'equal' basis. I also want to limit trade with India to items that we don't produce locally in Pakistan.
Allowing India to have 'free,urestricted,unregulated' access to Pakistani market,will be beyond treason and we will pay for it for a centuary.
India is an enemy state,non regulated trade will be a fiscal suicide. Remember: All industrialized nations were industrialized during the time of the crisis. Not realizing our own potential and innovation,in this time of crisis will be a historic mistake.
Please answer.
Best regards.

Pls add your input.
i see a similarity between this case and our case with china..we too have a trade imbalance with them and their cheap goods have flooded our markets and has destroyed the local companies..
