1. Our political
growth has been stopped after toppling of the Bhutto government, followed by
martial law, followed by repeated overthrow of the elected government in the
90s and followed by Mushraf regime.
2. During the above
period we gave birth to the religious and ethnic outfits, which have during the
time grown into monsters, which are tearing apart the very national fabric and
are holding the country hostage from Peshawar to Kashmir; the local people are
scared and the foreigners not traveling to the country, without which both
foreign trade and the investment is at standstill, which is not good for the
economy.
3. Our image abroad
is in shambles where we are variously described as the exporters and the epicenter
of the terrorism; foreign image of a country matters in order to survive in the
modern world and strengthen your position via a vis your enemies in the UN on
daily basis.
4. During this time
our socio economic indicators have hit a rock bottom where we are being lumped
with African countries on the issues like maternal mortality rate, infant
mortality rate, availability of clean drinking water and sanitary facilities,
etc.
5. Due to Tithe exclusive and limited focus on the military
aspect of the conflict with India, we could not invest into the infrastructure
and utility sectors in the country; as a result there is widespread load
shedding and rationing of the gas supply to the industries, which is impacting
on their production.
6. The biggest area of neglect and weakness of og our policy
framework during the period, was the neglect of the human sector, where we have
not been able to produce a well qualified and well trained manpower, which
could have helped us to not only to create service sector in the country, but
also to export the same as India is doing it; besides, manning our own
industry.
7. Have a look at our
education sector, where we are teaching our kids more and more of the religion
and Pakistan studies instead of heavy math and sciences content, which could
enable them to compete against the world; as result, we are not producing the
manpower to meet the requirements of the modern world.
8. Instead of
aligning our future and fate with the modern world, we found friends in Kabul
and Riyadh, who were not in a position either to stand as role models in the
Muslim world, or to provide education to our children (because of lack of such
universities); neither did fountains of modern culture flew through them, so
that all combined, they guide us into the future world of the technology and
culture.
9. As a result of
above, our children were caught red handed in the West either plotting to bomb
some railway stations, or to blow up some airplane, which was put into our
collective national account, which not only created our every day travel
inconvenience, but also foreclosed our education and employment opportunities
in the west.
10. Last of all, during
this very last 30 years, China and India have become world powers, with very
good image abroad, where the Multinational companies ( MNCs) are simply rushing
to set up their shop without worrying about any safety issues or cultural
conflict!
