Business Recorder op-ed writer Shabir Ahmed always comes up with a fascinating argument to build up his case. In his latest op-ed "Exports: the lesser god on govt's totem pole" , he makes a sardonic comment on Adviser to PM Razak Dawood's approach to country's exports. According to the writer, "We can almost hear Razak Dawood singing with Leonard Cohen, 'I have been here before/I know the room/I have walked the floor'. But if he really believes in sustainable export growth he should, for starters, go down a couple of floors to spend more time in his room in the Ministry of Industries."

It is a fact that Dawood served as the commerce minister in Pervez Musharraf's government from 1999 to 2002. Unfortunately, however, has failed to give any meaningful boost to country's exports.
