What's new

Launch of Pakistan Defence Party




Dear Young Pak,


These are you internal affairs, so, I find myself restrained to comment. I can only wish you all a bright and happy future that you all deserve.

The endemic corruption (civilian-military elite) combined with relgious maffia has done a huge damage to your beautiful country and you as Pak People.

You shall need at least two decades of good governance, a kind of socio-economic obssession, just lay the foundations of your State and Society.

On the other hand you are a reslient and stubborn people... so might surprise all of us with your achievements!

However, this sick apathy, this malign neglect towards State and Pak Peoples need to end now.

What your SC has given you as People is nothing short of a Miracle... it is upto you as people to snatch defeat from the jaws of Victory that the eminent Court has bestowed upon you. Or choose to build upon this Miracle. Your Choice! Free Will?


PDP is a great idea.. it first has come up with a Manifesto... without slogans or empty promises... It needs to come up with a Framework, a systematic approach of analysis and solutions to your social, economic, security, religious and diplomatic problems.

Otherwise, it is just a PDF feel good thread and waste of precious energies.

Write the Manifesto about the above subjects.... and remember Structure produces Functions and from Functions emerge Order... that is in the Nature of Things. It is the Principle on which the Universe is built and operates.

First step/question: What is Pakistan?

As input, please, remember before answering this question that you have a burden of 10.000 years History and a living Organic Compact, that is your current map including IoK, which is independent of all of you. Even if all you choose to live in india.. this Organic Compact, Pakistan historic and present day, shall keep on Being.

Think!

Looking forward to be dazzeled by you lot... please, surprise us!

Regards,

Mangus

We need something more appealing that can touch the common man's heart and also convey a message.

No problems with having a bird but circumstances require a strong symbol with a powerful message.

Then I love this one

2 nation theory died on the night of 16 December 1971

ahhh the party does not seek Indians as members. Thank you
 
Anyone who is willing to join PDP has to fulfill 3 conditions:

1) lawful citizen of Pakistan with a character certificate from work or police and no dual national and no serving public officers.

2) has a command of two nation theory its causes and its inception through the eyes of Iqbal and Jinnah.

3) willing to engage beyond racio ethno sectarian/religious bias.

@PakSword do you feel the need to add anything more?


The members will then choose among themselves a symbolic leader once the manshoor of the party is settled.

Please tag others if you want this to work.
One change ... i think for two nation theory or any of the vision of the party on Iqbal to be considered as he is the original vreayor of the idea of Pakistan and furthermore people try to miss quite Quaid.e.azam to achieve secular objectives ...

So lets begin that our values will be based on iqbal's vision of Pakistan but we will work hard like Quaid.e.azam

Partly agreed.

There is nothing wrong in secularism if it is under Islam's banner.

So don't worry about it.

Its all under control
 
@Arsalan is the best person.

I can manage overseas Pakistanis..
Well thank you for this vote of confidence, means a lot to me but to be honest, fighting for your country alone and having the burden of a whole group you may lead is quite different. I mean, theoretically speaking, it is not like we are going official with it, but only the idea of it, of having some people looking toward you for guidance and for you to be their hope is quite a burden to be honest. Hats of to Imran for carrying that load all his life, cricket then SKMCH and then PTI!! He is a true leader.


Anyway, seriously speaking, if it comes to that and if i realize someday that THIS is what it really takes to serve the country and to actually do something right for the nation, i wont hesitate to step up and pray to Allah that he gives me strength to get things done.

I have a better definition of putting it as a symbol. The specie is getting extinct so are real political parties . We have to protect and revive.
 
An intelligent nation with resources – what goes wrong?

KARACHI: Pakistanis are ranked as the 4th most intelligent people in the world, according to a survey by Institute of European Business Administration in 2012.

Furthermore, Pakistan is endowed with so many valuable natural resources as well. So how come one of the most intelligent people with so many resources can’t sort out their issues. What is the true potential of this country and how can it be achieved? Let’s investigate.

Pakistan’s trade deficit

Our honorable finance minister said in 2014 that Pakistanis have deposits of $200 billion in Swiss banks. Many people doubted these figures back then, but somehow in the post Panama era, these figures seem more realistic. As per the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Pakistan’s external debt is around $80 billion. So with a little bit of arithmetic, we can understand that if we can convince our people to bring a fraction of foreign exchange back, we can repay our external debt.

It’s not only about Swiss banks; we are overflowing with economic strength within Pakistan as well. Our stock market and real estate too are largely over-invested.

You can find stocks trading at a multiple of a staggering 30 times over and above their book value whereas you will rarely find a stock being traded at its book value or below. This means that people are over-investing in stocks. Similarly, the balloon of real estate boom has almost maxed out. The over-investment in stock market and real estate is again evidence that Pakistanis have too much money. Our economic resources are parked abroad and over-parked within Pakistan. Hence we have a lot of potential so how do we realise this potential? Where can we best invest this money?

As per a recent study, Pakistan will grow by 6% in the next decade and we have heard this right from the Harvard’s mouth this time. This growth rate is much higher than the growth rate projected for most developed countries and it is not very difficult to understand why.

Everything is done and dusted in the developed world. All the bridges have been erected, all the dams have been constructed, and all the road routes have been developed. There is very little room for further growth. Compare this with Pakistan and it won’t take an Einstein to discover that we have too much room for development and growth here.

Nawaz added whopping $35b to Pakistan’s debt

So if Pakistanis bring back their money amicably and willingly and invest it here they will get better returns. Money can be channelled from the over invested stocks and real estate towards productive small businesses and employment generating manufacturing firms.

For the country, the investment from Pakistanis will also be free from the caveats of FDI. When foreigners bring investment, they take away dividends and again put the current account under pressure.

The government needs to engage with all Pakistanis. People who have taken money abroad have their own reasons. They have seen nationalisation and freezing of foreign currency accounts. Hence, their fears and apprehensions have firm grounds. On the other hand, these Pakistani investors can hardly find other better destinations for their economic resources as Pakistan’s projected growth is much higher than most countries.

However, there are some pre-requisites to the realisation of this economic potential. The government needs to improve its policy making, ensure the continuity of its policies and must ensure improvement in necessary infrastructure. Some good work has been done on the power generation front. We need to establish national priorities that transcend beyond the tenor of any government. These non-negotiable priorities must be religiously followed. The government machinery must be improved so that people can feel safe about their investments.

Furthermore, small businesses have greased the wheels of such growth all around the globe. They distribute the fruits of growth to all segments of society, decrease unemployment and hence improve law and order as well. They raise income levels and living standards and also provide valuable exports which help improve current account deficit. So the government must make robust policymaking framework regarding small businesses.

To conclude, I must say that we are truly one of the most intelligent people with many economic resources. Most importantly, we have a young population with the most valuable desire to change their lives. Imagine if these young people can find an environment where they can turn their desires into reality. So much can be done.
