We will not even be able to say
A few days ago, I met with the ambassador of a country in Eastern Europe, this country is currently developing rapidly, foreign investors are investing billions of dollars there, tourism is also booming.
Three million tourists arrive in the capital every year and two billion dollars are spent there, universities are also coming in international rankings and there is progress in agriculture and technology and all this change happened in a few years.
During my meeting, the ambassador revealed, "This is my second posting in Pakistan. I was also posted here during General Musharraf's tenure. I asked him, what difference did you feel between the two periods?"
His answer was very interesting, he said General Musharraf we took the four ambassadors to Gwadar, the general said while smoking a cigar there, Your Excellencies, look at this place, we are building another Dubai here, you when If you come for the second time, there will be a forest of high-rise buildings, trains running, casinos, bars, hotels and more. There would be massage parlors and daily flights from your countries, we took them for granted, Pakistan really seemed to be taking off at that time.
We thought Pakistan would really come a long way in ten years, but I was posted here again after eighteen years and I agreed to go to Gwadar a few months ago, so this area was where I left it, nothing had changed. , was the same old five star hotel and that too was closed, the city streets were narrowAnd it was small and I did not find high-rise buildings, five-star hotels and massage parlors of General Pervez Musharraf anywhere, the city had gone back ten or twenty years from the past.
I was saddened to see this and I thought if we had this place, we would have made a hundred billion dollars by now, the ambassador said, you people have immense financial potential, you have 650 miles of coastline. , leave Karachi and travel along the sea to the border of Iran, the whole areaHeaven is there, you have deserts, you have civilizations like Mohenjodaro, Harappa and Taxila, there are 30 highest peaks in the world, K2 alone can earn you two to four billion dollars a year.
Gilgit-Baltistan can bear all your expenses, you just start free trade between Gilgit and Kashgar, fruits and dry fruits of Baltistan go to China and cloth and silk come from there, you open trade with Afghanistan and Iran. I wonder why you don't go to Central Asia?
In Central Asia, there is a shortage of gas and petrol water, the world's most expensive mineral water comes out of your mountains, the whole of Balochistan is full of minerals, even today millions of acres of land are barren in your Punjab, why don't you settle it? do
And I am surprised you also have population resources, we Europeans are forced to import everything from plumbers and electricians to doctors and engineers when you have 25 crore people, why don't you make your people useful, you On the one hand, there is nuclear power and on the other hand, you have not been able to complete electricity and gas till date, we haveWhat do you mean?"
He went on talking and I was getting embarrassed, everything he said was correct and 100% true, Pakistan is undoubtedly a terrible case study of failure, nature gave us a wonderful country but we all together ruined it so Today there is nothing left except frustration in the country. If we bring the country back on track, we will stand on our feet in ten to twenty years, but for that we have to take some big decisions, for example, we should internationalize the entire Gwadar belt.
Let us give this area to foreign companies, let twenty new cities be built from Karachi to the border of Iran and these cities will be international in every sense, like Dubai they will have mosques and five star hotels and malls, their The rules are also different and they are visa free, people can come from any corner of the world and this fifteenYou can live in these cities for days, the currency of the cities is dollar, euro and pound, you can take the example of the city of Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt.
Egypt is a more Islamic country than us, but Sharm el-Sheikh is completely Dubai, there are resorts along the coast, and in these resorts, where the world is full of tourists, there are more tourists in a month than in our country in a whole year. Come on, it's visa-free, even Israelis can visit Sharm el-Sheikh without a visa. We can also give international status to Skardu and Gilgit like Gwadar, make them eligible for international flights and visa free, Aga Khan Foundation has replaced Hunza and Skardu.
You should also give Gilgit to the Aga Khan Foundation and give it the authority to make changes in the area, it will change the area, Chitral is the most beautiful area in the world, you should also give it international status, complete the roads and international hotels. Give the chains free lands, this area will also change, up to K2's base campIt takes eight days on foot from Scully to reach, if you make jeep tracks to base camp and make the summit visa-free and free, the whole area will change.
I still don't understand this point why we have closed Azad Kashmir for international tourists if whites can go to Jammu and Srinagar then why don't we open Azad Kashmir for tourists? You open it too, it will also bring capital, why don't we make the country easy for Buddhist, Sikh and Hindu pilgrims too. make
You should also give pilgrims visa-free entry, pay a thousand dollar fee, deposit a thousand dollars at the pilgrim airport or border and get a visa for one month. Granted, the government can even give them their SIMs to track, only in the countryThese SIMs can be used even though they will be under the government's eye at all times.
I wonder till today why our millions of acres of land are barren. Why don't we distribute these lands to the students of the agricultural university? Students graduate and take fifty acres of land, but the government should set aside different areas for different crops like in America and Europe. Be it wheat in some, cotton in some and rice and pulses in some and rose, mustard and fruits in some, agricultural graduates can grow only these crops and make their products in these areas.
Why don't we create different districts for similar products? China has divided the whole country into products, there is furniture in one district, carpets in the second, tiles in the third, lights in the fourth, motorcycles in the fifth, cars in the sixth, bicycles in the seventh and noodles in the eighth. In a district of ChinaOnly one thing is made and due to this the raw material is also cheap, the workers are also trendy and the buyer is also saved from being humiliated in the whole country, why don't we do this too?
We should divide the country into different districts depending on the product, in that district there should be training institutes for that product only, there should be factories and outlets and there should be tax collection, this policy would also improve both skill and production. Similarly, we have not been able to create political stability in the country even todayPrime Minister, President and Army Chief do not know when the next election will be held? Why don't we solve this problem at once?
Why is this decision not made? Elections in the country will be held only after five years and will be on time. During this time, the assemblies will not be broken. Governments will certainly change every day. This will also bring political stability to the country. Even the people could not respect the streets, the Koran is insulted in SwedenWe close the roads and sit down, why? Why don't we take this decision once and for all, no road will be closed in the country at any cost, be it election or religious issue, all roads will remain open and if anyone tries to block the road, he will be locked up in jail for the rest of his life. .
And my last request, we can't even go with the current bureaucratic system, our office system is negative and slow, if you want to get a paper from an office, you spend your whole life in the offices, but you don't get the paper. We have to end this system too.
Govt should build a smart office, even if it increases government fees, but the work should be completed only in one day, the applicant should not have to come to another office, this country will be able to move again, otherwise we will be killed and die on the way. Even the dead will not be able to say that we were better than Afghanistan because Afghanistan is also nowIt's getting better at us, it's standing on its own two feet.
