Politicians hit out at 'unfair' Pakistan-China Economic Corridor

[Kabira]

Anyway some facts about China investment in Balochistan. The first one to benefit will be people of Gwader, who are obviously not punjabis.

ISLAMABAD - Under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), industrial collaboration will be enhanced and special economic zones will be set up in all parts of the country with Balochistan to get the first economic zone.

Addressing a press briefing here on Sunday, Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal said establishment of economic zone in Balochistan will create jobs and bring prosperity in the province.

He said Balochistan will get maximum benefit out of the CPEC project.

He further said that under the CPEC, Gwadar Port projects will be upgraded and different roads and express ways will be set up with special focus on the Karakoram Highway.


Ahsan said Kachi Canal project in Balochistan would be completed in the current year which would irrigate around 100,000 acres of land in the province.

He said under economic coordination, China would also relocate some of its industries from China to Pakistan that will create thousands of jobs and would also contribute in GDP of the country.

We are the enemy of state, what do you want us to do move out and give you the land?

Rather then hurt this country and wishes of our ancestors we might as well beg Afghanistan for refuge and move out and you can be cosy and comfortable after that.

Stop this melo drama, enemies of state are likes of BLA who will make sure Balochistan/Gwader are not developed. And TTP who are the reason traders from KPK are running towards punjab. So how do you expect foreigners to invest in those areas when even rich locals are running away? If security forces fail to secure Gwader then forget about any other investment anywhere.

That was figure of speech, seems you lack common sense as well!

And u know jack abt economics when u say spend 99pc development funds on balochistan.

And yes who did this to KPK and fata, if u know what Shahbaz agreed upon with TTP, do what ever u want but don't come to Punjab, burn other provinces and in the end you also get the major share of investment. state is responsible for getting rid of terrorist not only from Fata but also from Baluchistan, Again in pakistan nothing is secure, if GHQ is not secure and was under attack then nothing is secure in this country.

I've also been following this project for a very long time, off this forum. My own sources are nothing but neutral, and overall this is a good thing for the country. The parties as usual are playing petty politics over it.

I sure hope the KPK government don't stop this thing. This project is bigger than PTI's pride.

some transparency on part of the government will solve the whole mess....

smaller provinces have the right to be skeptical/insecure given the lack of info

PA is targeting the terrorist, whether they are pashtoon, arab, afghan , punjabi or etc.

Do you blame us we been shafted on every occasion.

I'll make sure we will stop this. Enough of "overall" good of the country. Every province has EQUAL rights, you can not issue sovereign state guarantees and develop Punjab only at the cost of gambling rest of Pakistan's future.

I'm biassed, very biassed for the financial security of KPK, Sindh and Baluchistan. Well look there, I support federation more than one left out province and it's inhabitants.

There should be an open debate about this.

Altering it, putting pressure on the government to include other provinces and parties in the loop is not a bad thing at all. But stopping it is not wise. Though mind you, there will be no stopping this thing, I can tell you this for certain now, it will happen, the nature of it may change, but there's no stopping it, and any such attempts to stop it will at best result in some changes.

If you have looked at the numbers then you know what this thing means for Pakistan. Also share what you know so that we may have that debate. I appreciate your comments on the bias of the federal government for one province, but I'm weary of any stopping it, for a few reasons.

Secondly there is no change in route as mentioned by Chinese and our people on board, i would request you to give infractions to those who are spreading falsa propaganda.

People here are passionate about some things are often and easily misled by petty politics, and for that I won't give any infractions. But any insults, or attacks on any group of people will warrant this.

A warning for all.

We are waiting for official 'certified copies' of all MoU's from the state, under freedom of information act. Once in hand, we will thrash it out in the Senate and KPK assembly. If it varies significantly from former pre-feasibilty studies, trust you me, even I can scuttle it in the Supreme Court. There won't be any need of party support. Nawaz and Shahbaz are morons of the highest order if they think they can get away with this.

We will make sure that China hears us loud and clear, and trust you me they will.

So what exactly is fuelling your concerns now if the documents are not in your hands as of yet. And I can say with 100% confidence, nothing will stop these projects, at best alter them a bit. Nothing will.

Well altered fine, we can't say much for baluchistan but we sure can say if there is any difference to the corridor then it surely won't pass through our province.

I asked specifically for no more mud slinging, the post you quoted was doing that and your responses not needed once I delete those.

I may even move this gig to the seniors section, and delete this thread. Too many violations posted here.,
