Funny but sad!
balance in the distribution of wealth is totally out in Pakistan ...ppl are poorest of the poor or richest of the rich.
middle class is shrinking ...which is a bad sign.
healthy economies has middle class in the biggest number and smaller size of poor and rich on both ends of the bar.
being filthy rich is not a crime .
but being filthy rich through filthy money is a crime .
some landlords got lands just from Gora shahi sarkar .
when Gora was ruling in IndoPak and land was used as a hook to give them,who wants to deceive their country men just for the sake of a land piece .
most of the feudal lords are Gora shahi wafadars and Qoaumi Ghaddars .
no2...mentality of a feudal lord always remains the same ,he does not want the Riyaya *Awam to get educated and employed and becomes self sufficient .
thats why we can see feudal decision makers never works for education and employment any particular.
Isn't it ironic that 2 among the top 4 richest ppl in Pakistan are politicians that are currently ruling the country?
Just out of curiosity, is this the case in any other democracy in the world where even one of the top 5 are ruling the country?
P.S. sorry for the typo.
they are the richest of the country .
no2 ...here in Pakistan.
u can only rule ,if u r not only wealthy but filthy rich.
They are not even quoting sources, anyone can just log into wikipedia to change it. This is a prime example of how some people are bent on targeting Asif Zardari.
According to Forbes Mian Mansha became the first billionaire Pakistani. The list is flawed and the names of a number of people are missing for example Hussain Dawood, the richest of the Dawood family lot.
Agree to skunk.
Wikipedia isnt really a reliable source of referencing.
The problem is, most of our political figures
1) do not pay taxes because of which it becomes difficult to calculate their income
2) have their financial/real assets overseas due to which its difficult to trace their networth
Guys the truth is that our leaders are corrupt and the more bitter thing is that we can't do any thing against them. Now whatever you discuss here, curse anybody, criticize Zardari, NS, Altaf, Fazal, Asfand, etc .. will not yield any thing but just a little catharsis ...
Cheers ...
how can we bring change??
let the system work, every succeeding politician will be less corrupt. It has worked in the most corrupt societies of the world and there is no reason it should not work here. However, you cannot get Swiss democracy in a flash of a second, that is for certain.
It is utmost urgent that we need change and our politicans have to understand that we must change, to have any sort of future.I think we need to update out teaching methods.
yes ;we need change .
change the route ,change the way u see the world.
change the way you re act to certain things .
change the leaders .
change the expectations .
and things will start moving towards the right direction.inshallah
Change ka wada tou Obama ne bhi kiya tha .
magar koi change nahin aaya na unki awam kay liye na humaray liye.:(:(:(
They become corrupt or more corrupt after jumping into politics as they get the best opportunities here to gain all illegal money nd i dont think so we can ever have a better system with corrupt politicians...their elimination or accountability has become essential today otherwise i see no other possible way to get a corruption free Government!
Seems like in Pakistan's case, we need Marshal law to keep things in order. The country under democracy is becoming a jungle being ruled by chimpanzees.
Quote:
"Seems like in Pakistan's case, we need Marshal law to keep things in order."
***************
Seems like in Pakistan's case, Pakistani's have gone habitual to 'eat 100 onions and 100 lashes'.
During Martial Law they ask for Democracy,
once Democracy is restored they ask for Martial Law.
What about calling Viceroy Lord Curzon or Governor General Lord Mountbatten back?
Seems people like sasherwani are not content with provinces being autonomous and masters of their own resources. Under democracy the jungle which was so carefully constructed is settling down. But alas some people will not learn.
Calling this a democracy is a joke.
Unfortunately, in Pakistan, since 1947, every system of Governance has been interpreted to be a Joke.
Is there something wrong with the Central Nervous System of Pakistani Nation?
Yes
Assalam-o-Alaikum-Warahmat-ULLAH ALL,
(a) We'll INSHALLAH find out how Mr. Zardari gathered ALL the money that he did over the years.
(b) People of this nation will accept Islami Nizam
It is their culture, their heritage, their longing.
Islami Nizam offers them the justice system which no other can offer.
"What about calling Viceroy Lord Curzon or Governor General Lord Mountbatten back"
@javedsheikh
I thouht the above mentioned people are dead. How are you going to call them back?
Here Haris bhai starts again about Islami nizam, which he fails to define in anyway.
@ Aftab: Please define what kind of democracy you'd not consider a JOKE?
@ JavedSheikh
I guess I am not one of the more hopeful lot among Pakistan's youth :)
I saw more financial and mental evolution during a dictator's era than during democracy's rule.
Dear Musician,
I know Viceroy Lord Curzon and Governor General Lord Mountbatten are dead.
They represent the Icon of British Rule.
Several episodes of Democracy and Martial Law, failed to make Pakistani Nation feel Happy.
You might have noticed that after every interval their is a call for going at the backward steps.
As posted by Khan Sahib in his thread Zardari vs Imran on 11 June 2009
This may reflect on Zardari's sources of income!

@ Skunk
I would like a democracy where the President who holds the highest office in the country to present himself in front of the courts and not hide behind his Presidential immunity.
http://www.tauxeef.com http://www.showinn.com http://www.symbianstop.com http://essi.pk http://www.smsyard.com http://www.smsoye.com
strange dacoit of the country ...
its in front of us .
with all the obvious reasons to be suspect as a dacoit .
but still we can not touch him .
You can't take that seriously because the big fishes in pk don't reveal their genuine assets because otherwise they will have to pay tax on it...so it's hard to measure the wealth of pakistani elite
14 billion$ foriegn exchang Pakistan has when musharaf left presedency,
Around almost same amount the present governament got from imf,world bank,friends of pakistan,saudiarabia.china,and eu.
ALL OF THAT AMOUNT in last 2.5years of ppp governament has spent on what?
How much Zardari and his cronies got in thairs personal accounts?
