People will pay Rs200 for a litre of petrol if needed: Faisal Vawda

Those who looted Pakistan for the last 40 years are now telling us how to run it, says water resources minister


Federal Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda has said that people have full confidence in the Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government while insisting that “if need be they would even bear the burden of paying Rs200 for a litre of petrol”.

He remarked while addressing the foundation stone ceremony of Mohmand Dam in the Mohmand district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) on Thursday.

At the same time Vawda hit out at the rival political parties, saying: “Those who have looted the nation for the past 40 years are now trying to tell us what is best for Pakistan.”

The federal minister also said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had been given the people’s mandate “so PM Imran could bring back the wealth looted by the previous governments back to the country”.


He added:


“We [Pakistanis] have seen even worse times and will be able to bear any hardship that comes to our way.”


While talking about the crusade against corruption, Vawda said that the accountability process against opposition leaders would not be stopped under any circumstances.

“He [PM Imran] taught us that authority is not important but hard work is,” the minister added.

More than 25,000 jobs, he said, will be created by the Mohmand and Diamer Bhasha dams projects.

If any of you are honest enough you will remember the case of Japan and Malaysia..

For those too young to know let me tell you:

Malaysia was in economic turmoil and PM Mahathir told his people I will need to bring down your salaries to balance off....we are in grave situation....It will be tough but in the long run things will be ok....

He also encouraged people to buy Malaysian products to reduce imports....and he told the manufacturers to maintain the quality...and few years later Malaysia's economic sacrifice bore fruits and made in Malaysian brands were exported within southeast asia even to Pakistan....

Japan had similar situation and their salaries didn't increase for long time...their working hrs were shit with shit pay....and eventually they steered out ...

Moral of the story to come to the top or be successful you need to struggle and make sacrifices

Well at least these countries provided basic facilities for their citizens
Same cannot be said about Pakistan where you have to provide even water yourself

Ministers like Faisal Vavda,Muraeed Saeed and Zartaj Gul are the only remnants of the Original PTI. To be honest all of them are good for nothing and a waste of space. I am happy Imran got rid of Gundapur another loony tune.
Faisal is a filthy rich chap hailing from an ex serviceman family.Since his inception in the ministry i have yet to see him talk sense. People like him sitting in the cabinet and deciding the our fates is a joke in its self.May Allah have mercy on us.
 
. . . . . .
Pakistani people can pay 200 rupee for litre that is not an issue
The books will balance in 1.5 years

Just means you drive less and go on joy rides less

And that means tourism sector will see job losses? Or mechanics? Or less taxes through petroleum? Less tolls on highways affecting revenue?

I think he is right. You dont believe me? Go to lucky mall for a visit or ask ur fellow to go there and make video or go to imtiaz super market you would be surprised to see people buying importing products like crazy.

Arif Alvi is still here ...

But yes I definitely agree with you. PTI is that Party of the elite for the elite.

This idiot on drugs or something?

No he's right. If fuel was Rs1000 a litre people who needed it would buy it. I'm not saying that is a good thing, just a reality of life.

I dont think fuel should be expensive. Every effort should be made to keep fuel and energy cheap as these have knock on effects on costs all along the supply line of everything.

But as I suspect we'll all see - people will protest high prices, then queue to buy expensive fuel to go home or get to work. We faced this in the UK in 2002/3 with the cost of fuel went over £1 a litre.

I will give you another parallel example of Netherlands. ...

Netherlands experienced a great flood (1950s) and at once the govt took measures through a flold managenetics scheme.....This meant taking people's land and moving people from large homes to small land/ homes....It also meant the govt couldn't always compensate 100% so the people had to manage....and they did...

The flood history:

https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2018/02/the-netherlands-remembers-the-devastating-floods-of-1953/

The sacrifice :

https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2014/feb/16/flooding-netherlands

Well at least these countries provided basic facilities for their citizens
Same cannot be said about Pakistan where you have to provide even water yourself

At a time of sacrifice even the basics are not provided....depends on how much the govt can afford ...

For financial a developed country like Netherlands...The flood management is important and it's people understand....out of all who were moved in the mid 2000s only two families went to court and lost:


There are no financial packages for people who have to move. "They get the market value of their house and that is all. We will help them find another place, but not financially. The only thing we do is to make sure that they do not lose money." He insists people will accept the situation "if you are honest and proactive and go to people and talk to them and take their fears seriously". Only two cases have been taken to court by people who didn't want to leave, both of which have been won by Room for the River.

"Of course there is opposition and of course people are hurt," said Brouwers. "They aren't singing and dancing about it. If you are the third generation in that house and you have to move it is terrible. But we have to find a way to live with water rather than fight it. Our task is clear. Our cashflow is constant. The programme is on track. Holland is divided and ringed by dykes and that will not change. We have built our cities for years close around rivers, we have given them no space so we have to change that."



Also like how the ancestors of some of us left everything in India to come to Pakistan...It is called sacrifice

After the sacrifice there is a struggle period and then you see the result....when you don't sacrifice and just keep complaining at everything even when you know and have been shown the financial situation Bare....then you get a crisis and violence...and foreigners take advantage

So all these children bachi for the sake of NS or from disappointment. ...All one can say is even Pakistan is disappointed in you lot.

Instead of understanding our situation and making cuts you people complain and don't even cut one import good from your homes....you aren't proactive just a whiny!!

@Dubious my question is why does the common man always have to make sacrifices while the rich and the influential get away with everything including murder....unless you establish justice which is equal for the rich and the poor no amount of sacrifice would suffice
That is true but who can fix our courts? What is the process?

Well at least these countries provided basic facilities for their citizens
Same cannot be said about Pakistan where you have to provide even water yourself

And whose fault is it that we lack basic facilities? Who decided metro was more important than clean water? Basic facilities is not something you get overnight. ...you build on it..tell me which previous govt worked on it? Current govt is fighting economic mess and trying to elevate poor....yet you guys still whine?


Basic facilities in Malaysia started in 1950s...Malaysia doesn't have hostel neighbours so they started early but the whole dept was reorganised

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5345496/

http://www.ideas.org.my/malaysia-welfare-state/

And even then the basics were subjected to criticism ...

https://www.schoolmalaysia.com/resources/govn_social_welfare.php


After 70 yrs IK stars basic facilities for poor and people claim he is drunk? He starts basics for the lower class and people say he is wasting our money then when they don't fall under the poverty line they claim there is no basic facilities? Dude where was your cry for the past 70yrs or even previous talent when metro was more important than your basics?

Ab kiyun yaad ari hain?

As for Japan it is still ans on going struggle that they are still working on:

Do you think these facilities came by magic?

No people also sacrificed...first by deciding to marry late then to have fewer children...then to move into smaller apartments high rise :


Social change
Two major changes were visible in the social life of the Japanese from 1952 to 1973. The first was the significant decline in the birth ratethat stabilized the Japanese population. The second was the population shift from the countryside to urban centres. In addition to birth control, such factors as a more highly educated populace, postponement of marriage in favour of education and employment, and a desire for greater independence in early adulthood contributed to changing fertility patterns—as did the increasing conviction among many couples that it was in their economic self-interest to have fewer children. But even with a stable population Japan remained one of the world’s most densely populated countries.

As population growth slowed and the economy expanded, Japan faced a labour shortage that drew workers from agriculture, as well as from small and medium enterprises, to the new large-scale industries of the cities. The resulting shift in Japan’s population was dramatic. In the Meijiperiod the rural population of Japan stood at 85 percent of the national total; by 1945 it was approximately 50 percent, and by 1970 it had fallen to less than 20 percent. In the process, both village and urban life underwent significant changes. Factories were built in the countryside as industrialists tried to tap into the still-underemployed rural labour force. Agriculture itself became increasingly mechanized and commercialized. As sons, and even husbands, went off to the factories, women, children, and the elderly were often left to run the family farm. At the same time, the face of rural Japan changed, with hard-surfaced roads, concrete schools, factories, and sales outlets for automobiles and farm equipment replacing the once timeless thatched-roof houses. By 1970 the average farm household income had risen higher than its urban counterpart, providing considerable rural purchasing power. Television tied rural households to urban Japan and to the world beyond. Young men brought up on visions of urban life as projected by American television programs were eager to move to the cities after graduation from high school. Young women showed increasing reluctance to become farm wives, and in some instances villagers sought spouses for their sons in Southeast Asia. Rural solidarity suffered from such out-migration, and in many cases prewar village life ceased to be, as villages amalgamated into cities and struggled to develop new identities.

Cities also underwent rapid change. By 1972 one in every nine Japanese lived in Tokyo and one in four lived in the Tokyo-Ōsaka industrial corridor. As the national centre for government, finance, business, industry, education, and the arts, Tokyo became a magnet for many Japanese and the quintessential expression of Japanese urban life.

But while Tokyo and other large cities remained highly attractive, urban dwellers also faced serious problems, notably housing. Living space for most urban dwellers was infinitesimal when compared with Western societies. Although Japanese bristled when Westerners described them as living in “rabbit hutches,” apartments with 125 square feet (12 square metres) of living space—often with shared facilities—were common. Such apartments were often found in drab residential developments that pushed out at greater distances from the inner wards of major cities and required increased commuting times. The dream of owning one’s home, which most urban dwellers sought to keep alive, was already becoming increasingly elusive by the 1970s. In 1972 the price of land in or near Japan’s largest cities was some 25 times higher than it had been in 1955, far surpassing the rise in the average urban worker’s disposable income for the same period. While government and private industry were able to provide some low-cost housing, higher-priced housing in the form of high-rise condominiums, or “mansions,” proliferated, and for most Japanese urbanites housing remained the chief flaw in Japan’s postwar economic “miracle.”

Now when IK announced high rise...which laughter gas did some of the populace took? How many are willing to "sacrifice" in any means?

You see the "facilities" but you people don't see how they came about....had japan not stopped breeding. ...would their govt be able to help? Even now standard of living in Japan is very high....

Social welfare was used for election campaigns in Japan in 70's and 80s...in Pakistan they chose metro like projects and voted based on how big the road looks not who can offer them clean water
