Another denial of a problem...by Pakistani...

Increasing population is not regarded as a problem anymore. India and China have proved this.

[Abu Zolfiqar]

Field Marshall Ayub Khan once said that if we dont solve the issue of population growth, things will get to a point where Pakistanis will begin eating eachother.


symbolically speaking, he wasnt too far off the mark.


it's not too late to raise awareness and enact reforms to control the population growth....every country has a ''carrying capacity'' -- and in our case rising pop. growth with minimal GDP growth to offset it is a recipe for disaster.


all we need to do is enact a 1 or 2 child policy the way the Chinese did.......but then the problem is the religious groups who then cry foul
