    "The indian Prime Minister is possibly the most qualified PM in the whole world"

    I can see him qualified to be a finance minister. But how does all his experience and education qualify him to be a PM? His performance as PM has not been particularly extraordinary.

    BTW, if it the qualification for a PM is so called "impressive" CV, then Shaukat Aziz also had an extremely impressive CV.

    @adonis...agreed..shaukat sahab kahan gaye ya unhon nay kiya kia..thts a diff story but yes he has an impressive CV.

    its not that we dont have educated people as Manmohan singh is...bu the problem is that either they dont want to come into politics..or if they come somehow...they cant survive.....anyways....BA ki shart laga dee yahee kaafi hay humaray liye...!!

    It was Manmohan who opened Indian economy to outside world in 1990s. So basically he is the founding father of economic powerhouse of India. Short-cut Aziz not so much.
    @niazzm-ki-tabdeeli
    BA ki shart waapis khatam ho gayee.. bhai mian soye hooway ho kia.. jo log apna daily kam ke liyay doosron ke muhtaaj hain woh again hamaray MNAs ban jayen ge

    Actually, indian economy started opening up when Rajiv Gandhi was PM in late 80s. Manmohan singh was not even in the government at the time.

    But again, no technical experience is a pre-requisite for being a Prime Minister. It is a leadership position and a successful PM must have good leadership and management skills as well as impeccable political acumen. He does not need to have a Doctorate from MIT.

    This is why successful PMs or presidents all over the world are generally politicians, not technocrats like manmohan singh.

    Why cant he be a good politician or PM??? Yes, he has ridiculously impressive finance background but also look at his parliamentary record. He led parliamentary committees and has been a senior member of congress party.

    @Jalali, you can credit Manmohan for opening up Indian economy but the real credit goes to Narsihma Rao, who was Indian PM at that time.

    aur bhaiyyoo, khuda kay liyay, shaukat aziz jaisay jaahil aadmi ko Manmohan se compare matt karo.

    Manmohan may have all accomplishments in economics but can he beat this :

    During Nawaz Sharif's ten year in power, his industrial empire has grown by <b>4000</b> per cent, according to the International Herald Tribune.

    That kind of materialistic degrees are not to be sought after. Right under his nose in New Delhi there are gang rapes. Major Indian cities are controlled by mafia linked politicians. Bride burning due to lack of dowry is still rampant. Untouchable lower caste are burnt alive and treated like animals.

    Our role model should never be West goras or East banyas. Our role model is Prophet SAS.

    on a serious note, you dont need a CV like this to be effective PM.

    1. Sincere to the country and the people.
    2. Intelligent enough to recognize problems and delegate those to right people.
    3. Be a strong leader
    4. Should not have dirty laundry hiding in his own closet.
    5. Is in touch with what a common man goes through everyday
    6. And he feels accountable.. We can call it Khauf-e-Khuda or conscience. He should realize he has the opportunity and responsibility not to blow this.

    Geeelanis, Zardaris, Shareefs, Chaudrys, etc etc have no idea how to spend a night without electricity, what it takes to get 1 kilo aata and sugar. What's it like to travel in public transport or go to a government hospital. INhon nae kabhi zindagi mae uth k pani nahi piya ya apnay jotay khud polish nahi kiay , inko kia pata what's real life.

    @ghareeb..wakai??...humaray role model SAS PBUH nay to kaha thaa k aaj k baad kisi arabi ko ajami par koi fokiyat naee hay or na he kisi kaalay ko kisi goray par... humaray role model nay to us aurat ki khairiat daryaft kee thee jo k kafir thee or un par koora phainktee thee..humaray role model nay to kaha hay k "humanity is the family of Allah and the best human is one who is kind to his (allahs) family'. ..........kindly dont spoil islams image before someone reads your post and has the opportunity to point at muslim being racists.

    this is our dilemma my friend...we only pick up those points from our religion which suits our needs better and drop those which we dont like. i think anyone who has achived something needs appreciation and we have to copy the good deeds no matter who is doing that and discourage the bad deeds no matter he is our brother.

    Nizaam,

    There is no racism in Ghareeb's post? I think you misunderstood the meaning of 'west' and 'east'. He is referring to the way or system of life.

    Not any race.

    Nizam ki Tabdeeli, Chalo aap ne sahih farmaya.

    Why don't we take example of Gandhi who lived very simple life. He remained shirtless and bared his shoulders all his life and refused to wear any thing except Khadi until every Indian could afford that. Look at our politicians with suit, tie, expensive shalwar Kameez, properties, cars etc etc. Have you ever heard about Mullah Umar who refused to eat in presence of foreign dignitories that were offered good dishes. He ate stale bread with soup in presense of those foreigners. When asked he replied: I will eat when every citizen can eat that. Now who is following Prophet SAS?

    You Don't need an impressive CV to lead your country into new era of Progression. You just need an "Honest" "Brave" (not an agent or a poodle of some agency or foreign country) and "Loyal" (To Pakistan and not himself or his bank accounts) Person.

    Though, I am in favour of educated people in our Parliment. I think, we should abolish the Senate (Pakistani version of house of Lords) and just have a Central and Provincial Govt.

    I am not looking for an ideal in this particular instance. Just a comparison for the sake of discussion and thinking. Short-cut Aziz had an impressive CV too however during his time billions have no audit trail. Try to be sensible.

    @Jalali: What is more, Manmohan Singh is a minority and if he were in Pakistan then, unlike India, he would not have been allowed as PM. Quaid-e-Azam did offer Sikhs to join Pakistan. Lucky for them they did not accept.

    Shaukat Aziz stayed for most part in blood sucking city bank. Not much of a record in my opinion.

    Ok.
    Good discussion, ie some good points raised. But if I may say:

    We desperately need sincere, brave and self-proud (ie, those that have no inner-complexes regarding their Pakistaniyat) along with mentally intelligent MNAs/leaders/syaasi karkun... political workers.

    Simply put, brain as well as the (characteristically) braun.

    sir ...are you telling me that our shaandar parliament comprises of people who are only pakistani nationals and no one is dual national?....may be he wasnt a pk national since you are saying its a controversy which i doubt but i was talking about his lifestyle at that time which was very simple and decent and you can confirm that in his very short tenure he didnt live a prime minister type life...! that is all i m saying..!!...even ardeshir cowasjee acknowledged his personality.....!!...

    jaypk,

    Yes, there are few MNAs who hold dual citizenship. Dual citizenship is allowed, but Moeen was only American Citizen -not sure, but that was the controversy in his interim term.

    What can we judge in his little interim period, I don't think any policy, plan or project was envisaged or implemented.

    What one may wonder is how was he chosen? From vice president of world bank to PM of Pakistan.

    guys...i am only asking about his personal character...whd happened in his term or whd much he could have done in 3 months is nt my concern...as far as i remember in only a short term of 3 months he or someone else leaked out the tax reports of our leaders showing nill and literally nill figures..there were some other credentials as well but since he was an american it would be a never ending debate.. Also how come someone born in pakistan had an american citizenship...lately he settled there permanently doesnt mean he was all american and wheneva we talk about him we would say he was an amercian ciztizen so what...atleat he was educated enough.!!

    @jalali.....any proof of 7 billion or just an accusation..i m nt trying to defend him or something.. and i take my words bak tht he was down to earth..may b i was trying to say that he started reforms and stole less thts all..but i think we should come up with proof and not just accusations based on personal biases like american citizens....a guy who was the senior vice president of world bank doesnt neccessarily need 7 billion and that also in 3 months..!!
