Allow me to share with readers what Agha Ahsan has to say:QUOTE Do you remember, we were building dams, irrigation canals. we were building profitable industries. People were not rich, but nobody was poor as well, nobody went hungry to bed. People from newly-independent countries were coming to Pakistan, to examine the dynamic PIA and Pakistan Railways.
A policeman could stop anybody and check. If there was no light on your bicycle, or tonga, you were bound to get a ticket from traffic police.
Had it continued, I am sure we would have been even ahead of Malaysia or South Korea.
But alas then came the period when, law was administered according to your status. People could stop working without any effect on their promotions and salaries. Existing industries were nationalised, and there was no new industry.
PIA, Pakistan Railways and other government departments were filled with non-working political parasites (not workers).
UNQUOTE You said it, Sir, the political parasites". With due respects to the clamourers of the so-called 'democracy', we are once again striving to saddle the 'same very corrupt political leaders' of these parasites to undo what little is left of Pakistan.
God save Pakistan.
