Pakistan Ship Building

[Imad.Khan]

And now China is building ships 10 x times the size at 10 times the speed

We started so well somewhere we went wrong

Because of the rise of ethnic and religious zealots thanks to Bhutto, Zia, Nawaz, Zardari, and Fazlu. So instead of spending time on progress, we were busy fighting each other
