So why do the politics by elected officials? If politics is all about economy, isn't it better to install people from the financial sector as technocrats to run the government as its happening in US?
Technocrats in the US??? I don't think you have a good understanding of what makes up the US political system. What we DO have is a fact that no matter how many disagreements (and there are many), the system is never derailed and the country always moved forward. If one party doesn't win or feels like they were done wrong, they go to the court and if the court strikes the issue down. They take it as a final decision and start preparing for the next elections. So no trillions of dollars are lost because some idiots tried to take over the capital of the country.
Second, economy is what feeds you. Can you go to Church or Moqsue and pray or do school work or anything with an empty stomach for days? or with extreme sickness? Add unemployment to it. Can you afford a doctor's visit without $$ to pay him? You think these 20K protestors will be there with IK and the Mullah if they didn't have food or clothing provided? NO, they'd be GONE!!!
People like you sitting in Norway, France, the UK, Australia and the US.....why did you leave Pakistan to be in these countries? For ONE thing and One thing only......a better economy that provides Security and Safety for everyone and ensures growth for you and your families. So why put roadblocks in Pakistan's way?
So.....human life essentials are: Food, Shelter and Clothing. All of these come from a running economy. Publicly elected officials make sure that they put a system in place that then ensures the success of people's lives, businesses, education availability, healthcare, infrastructure and all.
I don't know about the past. But this time around, Pakistan is in luck (IF you let the current government finish their term out of respect and growth for Pakistan). The current government has brought in 100 + Billion Dollars worth of investment. This is NOT the time to do this bull crap drama. This is the time to support who is REALLY building a new Pakistan vs. others who "talk" about it and are constantly damaging the economy.
You know the phrase, "There is a time and place for everything". This time was where everyone needed to shut up for the sake of Pakistan and let the growth happen. In the next 5 years, the growth will start to show a new Pakistan. If these issues the sit-ins are being done for still existed, the same sit-ins can happen a few years from now.
Right now, you need to work with each other and support the government in Pakistan's economic growth. This is NOT the time to do this drama and scare off the investors and destroy the ONLY chance that the country has.
