Before blocking NATO supplies, take a look at the repercussions for Pakistan’s economy!

In an interview with a journalist, Akram Durrani of Jamiat Ulema-Islam-Fazal (JUI-F), who was the former Chief Minister of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and isnow the Federal Minister, portrayed his government’s plans for economic development as:

“We believe that God prearranged food and clothing for every man, which He created. If we give up the ways of God and devise our own solutions to perceived problems, we may land in trouble.”

The policy pursued by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) towards the drones strike is very much in procession with that of Akram Durrani’s. It is true that God feeds every mouth on the planet but it is also true that ‘God doesn’t help those who don’t help themselves’.

Pakistan is a country on the verge of collapsing due to many social and economic problems.

The problems include serious power shortages, unemployment, high security issues, corruption, poor infrastructure, illiteracy, poor medical facilities and much more. Our leaders must face these realities and find solutions to these problems by following a more pragmatic approach.

Instead of going political on drone strikes, we should try to focus on our own shortcomings. There is no certainty that the drone strikes will be halted after obstructing NATO supplies, but we may land in some serious trouble if this blockage continues.

Pakistan is currently earning $365 million annually from NATO and International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) routes. By pushing it to impede the supplies, this amount will be lost and with it, the livelihood of a lot of people who are directly and indirectly associated with these routes. It can also end up halting aid coming in from the US and other international countries and organisations. The biggest chunk of Pakistan’s much needed aid comes from the US, which is fighting the war in neighbouring Afghanistan, along with its allies.

Pakistan is the fourth largest recipient of US aid which amounts around $1.6 billion for the year 2013-14 as direct overt aid and military reimbursements. Other than that, the US has also recently given a go-ahead to an assistance package of $1.6 billion which was pending due to strains in the relations in near past. Our American allies are also helping in other projects in monetary terms for covering power shortfalls.

Pakistan has estimated shale gas reserves of 586 trillion cubic feet with fresh recoverable reserves of 105 trillion cubic feet. It requires an initial investment of $1.5 billion for the exploration and development wells which the US has contracted to invest in. Aside from this, the US is also providing monetary fund of $1.35 billion for the gas pipeline, which is contemplated to carry natural gas by transforming imported LNG from Karachi to Lahore. They have further agreed to help in the installation of coal based power projects.

The construction of the Diamer Bhasha dam is another important project that the US may be involved in. The Pakistan government has been unable to secure money for this project from the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is waiting to hear from the US before providing finances to help with the construction. The dam faces massive funding shortfalls as it could cost up to $14 billion and take a decade to complete. If built, it could provide electricity to 60 million people, one million acres of crop land and a ready supply of water to millions more.

On an unfavourable note, the blockade can result in halting of loans from international organisations under the US’s influence. On an average, the World Bank (WB) lends $1.5 billion to the country annually. The portfolio of the WB in Pakistan currently consists of 30 projects with total commitment of five billion dollars. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has just given a bailout package of $6.6 billion for the fiscal year 2013-16 on the request of the newly formed government who faces massive financial constraints.

After shutting down these routes, all supplies will channel through the Northern Distribution Network (NDN) rather than through Pakistan, which will cost $87 million more per month. The consequences of blocking the supply will be much more severe for Pakistan’s economy than that of the US and its allies.

Although the drones are attacking the sovereignty of the country, one should asses its own state of affairs and circumstances. After all, beggars can’t and don’t dictate terms.

Gist of this thread- Qadiani Pakistanis are not allowed to have an opinion and question PTI. Kinda validates the article, this behaviour, doesn't it?

 

[ejaz007]

@ejaz007 It does sir ji, but the vote is a 'choice'. He could've voted for uncle tom. No one pulled a dagger to his throat.

But he did not vote for uncle tom. We should learn to respect every ones right to vote whether he votes for PTI or someone else.

Religion, caste or tribe does not matter. In the end all are Pakistanis and have right to vote for party of their choice.

These hypocrites also went to a dinner reception hosted by NATO. On one side, they are protesting against the drone strikes and NATO and on the other hand, they are attending their dinner receptions lol.

IK went to the dinner hosted by NATO to register protest..

 

[Pakistani E]

Don't start a self victimization spree, everyone is being butchered without much care for who they are.

Can you sunni muslims stop your victimising campaign in Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya Myanmar, Philippines. Please.

The delusion of some Pakistanis can be seen clearly in this forum, blaming "qadianis" for an article written by non Ahmadi. So anything that is said or written that is not liked by anyone is immediately labelled qadiani, because you know qadianis are secretly plotting to take down the citadel of hypocrisy. Welcome to The hypocrites republic of Pakistan.

Gist of this thread- Qadiani Pakistanis are not allowed to have an opinion and question PTI. Kinda validates the article, this behaviour, doesn't it?

The person who wrote this article is not "qadiani". It's just a Pakistani thing to label anything they don't like as Qadiani, because you know, Qadianis are secret yahudi/Raw/Cia/Mossad agent.

Fascism represents totalitarian extreme right wing nationalism opposed to democracy.

PTI close alliance with the anti- Pakistan Jamaat Islami gives the impression that PTI is leaning towards extreme right. But until such time that Imran Khan is lifted to a Hitler like demi -god status and his word accepted as ‘Final’ in each and very aspect of the national issues, in my humble opinion, PTI cannot be labelled as a Fascist party.

Imran Khan is just a small time politician. His single minded pursuit of the anti-drone agenda is primarily to exploit anti-US sentiment (mainly to shame PML-N) and his pro-Taliban stance is meant to seduce mindless young men with extremist leaning.

Imran Khan is not asking to attack NATO if you know some facts. He is neither against United States nor asks to attack them. All he wants is NATO and America to realize that drones are creating terrorism in Pakistan and in doing so, he is firm, determined and clear.

There will be 100s of such articles but remember, truth has 100 enemies and all those are lies and not even 100 lies together can beat one truthful stance. I am Proud Supporter of PTI and I do so with full conciseness, analysis and having a satisfaction on their stance against drones.

Well, somehow these agendas all pop up when certain other misgivings with the Party Government's performance emerge; but then that is what is part of being baptised as a political force in Pakistan.

 

[KRAIT]

In few minutes, he makes more sensible statements than rest of the Pakistani leadership, in a month.

 

[airmarshal]

Hypocrisy is talking against drones in political rallies and once in power go totally quiet.

PTI is doing what everyone should be doing. As all parties voted in favor of 'no drones', all of them should either be seen doing something or stop criticizing PTI which is doing all a political party can do.

I m ashamed of PMLN and its educated followers. It has majority govt. It promised several times to stop drones. It convened APC and the collective decision was to stop drones. Now instead of doing something regarding drones, its taking lead in criticizing.

 

[pak-marine]

PTI = Right wing what is the author so surprised about !

 

[livingdead]

Like the article suggested, IK might be humanist but he should be careful about where he positions his party.
