I think one such thread is running....I saw it that is why I am getting angry coz when these projects were announced I was oblivious and didnt even write a word instead gave
and walked out of the thread but now more and more thread regarding increased prices than estimated and other issues are arising with some Indians saying our Isb wala project is 6x more expensive ...
Instead of throwing words, perhaps it is better if you back your statements by posting comparatively analysis of cost estimation between Pakistan and other nations as you name it.
Education is non profit entity? Really? What happened to all those jobs you were talking about? Shouldnt educated people fit in?
The only time it is non profit is for the vote bank! Educated thinking society will not repeat their error in voting for looters!
Education is non profit entity, and Pakistan is in debt. Pakistan has to repay loan back with interest.
Quoting a few comments separately doesn't help when you are trying to miss the whole point of the post as whole which i laid out in lengthy post with concise explanation about what happens when Pakistan is in debt, and what is needed to stabilize the economy of Pakistan to survive and only then, prioritize in order to improve the welfare of the state through the benefits which includes the investment of educational sector that comes with thriving economy of Pakistan.
You forgot N.Korea got cut off thanks to them trying to take a punch (via talking only) at America....While Pakistan did no such thing and as many of you talked about even in sanctions Saudi helped us so did other nations ....Yet you people keep ignoring we never were in REAL sanctions....and hence nuclear plant NEVER actually dragged us!
Secondly I have even heard delusional supporters saying that NS started or finished nuclear plant....but I am yet to hear them blame NS for our failure...
There is talk about Nuclear PowerPlant in Karachi, whether it is initiated or not is debatable. There is no information about that. But majority of Karachiites are against Powerplant in Karachi because of several reasons. There is possible that powerplant might be out of the question.
I really think you should research on economic sanction and the side effects of economic sanction comes thank to preparation of Nuclear programs and what ticks USA off in the first place if analyze the comparatively between North Korea and South Korea and their relationships with USA.
The rest of the post which i find not relevant to the pressing concerns while insinuating the impossible tasks with dreaming tactics is hardly deemed as practical solution.
I'm not blaming PMLN. The point of quoting that article was that the sanctions did not do so much damage and it is wrong to say that they started poverty in the first place. What they did was reduce development, which is why poverty kept increasing as the population increased.
There was a considerable amount of poverty before the sanctions.
Like I said, the Nuclear program was required at that time; to maintain some level of a balance of power and stability in the region. India had developed nukes first and countering them was necessary. Pakistan did not have an option, and blaming whoever was in power (PMLN/Military/PPP - depends on who you ask, everyone likes to take credit for starting the project) for it is pointless.
In short, you cannot have both. If you want Nuclear for protection, then be prepared to face the huge price, poverty in huge margins. If you want thriving economy and not Nuclear program, then no chance for economical sanction, therefore economy in Pakistan will be stable.
Pakistan knew the price for pursuant with Nuclear programs, but today, the whole nation has been blaming on democratic political leaders for years when the authority of Pakistan army exerts over those democratic political leaders.
If there is blame, should be placed on Pakistan army, or learn to accept the prices that comes with Nuclear program inviting economical sanctions in many areas that put roadblock on the thriving economy of Pakistan. It is not coincident that thriving economy of Pakistan in 60's is changed to nightmare in 80's with other factors to take account as well.
Pakistan is not gonna progress quickly, not as long as Pakistan continues to remain Nuclear nation. The only thing that can roadblock thriving economy in Pakistan, it is Nuclear program that comes with price, economic sanction.
We all know that Pakistan army has real power over Pakistan, not any democratic political parties. That's why i also call PTI, a bluff.
We gotta give some credits to PMLN that at least it is trying to put some efforts by keeping the nation barely surviving - already in debt. PMLN is the only party that attempted to resurrect the stable economy with too many billion-dollars invested energy projects within few years under the ruling of PMLN that will start operate in the matters of 10 years and above given the process in Pakistan will normalize the economy of Pakistan eventually and Pakistan will be back to game, guaranteed Pakistan army doesn't hijack through its invasion by introducing Marshall law in the middle of functioning democracy system.
Pakistan could do a lot given the word period of Pakistan during the ruling of PPP and Musharraf earlier. Pakistan has come a long way, and i hope PMLN wins next election to gather more invested billion-dollars project for the betterment of Pakistan.
That being said, being patient is needed through the difficult time as no nation can develop within 10 years, let alone 5. USA didn't become developed nation overnight. We have to be patient. It took Canada more than fifty years ever since Great Depression period and now Canada is enjoying its fruit after remained patient during the turmoil period.
We also saw why PTI is not answer to Pakistan as investors are running away from KPK under the ruling of Imran Khan which is not good sign for Pakistan. Due to PTI's misplaced priority, doesn't strike confident to investors at all. I doubt major corporations will be keen to invest their billion dollars on Pakistan under the ruling of PTI.
