Tell the brotherly Arab nations to replace Indian workers with Pakistani workers. As we speak, they are sending $75 billion per year to strengthen Indian economy.
Bravo. Nice to see some sense prevailing around here. What is to be noted is that indeed there are Pakistani's benefiting from GCC. For example in 2015 over $2 billion came from KSA into Pakistan. For that there will be millions of Pakistani's grateful and so they should be.
Equally just over $1 billion came from USA and Pakistani's will be grateful for that as well. There are also millions of Pakistan living comfortable lives in the West like myself and we directly or indirectly support Pakistan. For example the Pak disapora makes most of the visitors that throng Islamabad, Lahore etc international flights. We use PIA or other Pak carriers which again indirectly supports the Pakistan economy as it provides jobs.
However Pakistani's don't place saome special place for the West or America despite these benefits that accrue from there. Most Pakistani's regard those places as hostile. Nobody lauds US for the remittances or the jobs it or the wider West provides to Pakistanis.
On the other hand KSA and GCC are elevated to almost godly status and some here are suggesting should be defended with Pak blood. Therefore it is only expected that Pakistan recieves especial treatment given that it's people give GCC especial regard.
However the facts on the ground show otherwise. Indian's are the primary benefactors of GCC and recieve GCC especial treatment, India recieves over $75 billion from GCC. Now think about that figure please. $75 billion not one off payment. No, sir. $75 billion ever year. In two years it is $150 billion. In three years $225 billion.
Surprised? I bloody well am. Rest assured this makes absolute no differance to me. I lead a very prosperous life here in UK. However every time I go to Pakistan I see thousands of youth and young men either unemployed or part employed. They are desperate to go abroad to make decent money. Some of these men - no differant from me other than I was lucky pay smugglers money to get jobs abroad with many being fleeced or drowning in Mediteranean or shot by Greek border guards. Who am I to question these men for wanting better when my dad did exactly the same thing decades ago.
However if this GCC that so many Pakistani's elevate to godly staus had even a shred of respect for Pakistan they would give preferance to Pakistani workers in place of Indian's. That would slowly squeeze out the Indian's and trhat $75 billion would end up in Pakistan. The CPEC and Chinese loans of $46 one off investment would be like pennies compared to the tsunami of money that would flood into Pakistan if GCC adopted this as policy.
This preferantial jobs policy is widely practiced by countries to favour or punish other countries. I give one example. In my town I had never ran into a Pole. Within 5 years of 2004 at least 20% of some parts of my town are Polish. Indeed the largest immigrant community used to be Indians in UK. In less than 5 years the Poles have gone to become the second largest immigrant community in UK.
This happened because EU membership
privilages, yes notice that word privilages Polish people to enjoy
preferntial treatment. One of the foremost being Poles can come to UK and apply for and get any job they want. The second peferance they get for being EU member is Poland can openly export products to UK without any hindrance. The bottom line is Polish goods enjoy preferance compared to say Indian goods. Polish workers enjoy preferance to Indian workers. This has assured Poland will rise to become a very prosperous country within next decade or so.
Now think about this. Why the fvck the Poles got these preferantial treatments compared to say Indian's or Pakistani's? The reason is simple. The British relate to European, white, Christian Poles who are friends with them. Thus that friendship has been manifested in all the benefits being heaped on Poland.
Now compare what prefential treatment GCC has given Pakistan. The reality is at best Pak is treated same as India and possibly going by figures far worse. So GCC adopted the same policies UK has done for Poland etc yes I would agree Pakistan should be ready to fight for GCC at a moments notice.
