Missed my chance to do my MS under Dr. Asad Zaman at PIDE - a brilliant mind indeed. Most of these economists are brilliant, but they have and are from different economic schools of thought, I wonder how would they work together and agree on devising a robust economic policy.

That was exactly the main point.
To have people who have different mindsets to make the policy that covers all aspects.

One member is from SDPI? That NGO is against Pakistan nukes and other things of national interest.

However Dr Suleri is some what associated with the food economy etc. My point of view that his credentials papers should be thoroughly checked.
