When Pakistan got independent at that time our country was great, our people were great and our leaders were also great. But today, our country is poor, people of the country are poor and leaders are billionaires! The worst conditions of this great country and nation were never before!

This is really hard for Pakistanis to live either in Pakistan or out side the country. If we see what difficulties one faces living inside the country, it will be a long list of problems and difficulties. On the other hand, not the same but other problems are also being faced by the Pakistanis who live abroad.

It is really embarrassment for a resident of a country to give negative comments or write negative article at his own country. But I am fed-up with the all this happening with us. We have nothing to do but to run for flour if we are an agriculture country, our women and men stand in long queue for a 10 Kg flour bag for many hours to get. Electricity problem; it seems that we live in old ages when there was no electricity, when we leave homes for office or work there is no electricity and we come back to home the same scenario as at the time of leaving home. Electricity on and off problem at work also, it prevent workers to work. Drinking water problem; the basic need of human being, it shame on us that after more than 60 years of getting independence, we have this problem and not yet over come. Just for information and instant case, where I live it is a good place, for many times we are waiting for drinking water to my home! We get drinking water from one of our relatives by joining pipes as his home is far away from our home. These are just 3 basic problems and there are long long long list of problems.

We all understand that the above problems are a self created, yes it is true. In last government era the same population live in the country the same electricity sources were working, yes problem were also there but this much, never before!

Many Pakistanis left this country for safe living and not facing these problems but unfortunately, as the bad image of Pakistan in the World they faces other problems. Problems include living, working, traveling etc. A friends of mine told me that many Pakistanis do not want to show that they are Pakistanis instead of that they tell that we are Indians.

Abroad Pakistanis problems are also created by the giants of the World for the reasons best know to them.

In the end I will say, our government is just know how to fill their own pockets, who doest know that how much money they have their own accounts. No one is sincere, they are just pinching this great country; and snatching money and food from the nation. I always pray that the Almighty ALLAH, give us sincere leadership who works for people of Pakistan(Ameen).

FIVE REGIONAL CITIES should be upgraded with in the provinces in Pakistan. Regional cities of Dera Ismail Khan in NWFP, Gawadar/ Qalat in Balouchistan, Sukkar/ Larkana in Upper Sind, Jehlam/ Rawalpindi and Multan in Punjab province. These regional cities have been ignored by the federal and provincial governments although these cities have their own history, culture and languages.Dera Ismail Khan in south of Pakhtun khwa/MWFP is under seige, Multan/DG Khan in south of Punjab is next target of religious extremists,Sukkar/ Larkana is being rule by criminals, Gawadar/ Qalat is trouble some. The people of these regions have to travel to provincial capitals for every small issue and requirement of the daily life which should be provided in nearby cities. A good number of population travel to big cities for their survival to earn livelihood as the local feudal own majority land and keep the common man as their slaves. Creation of regional government and upgrading of the regional cities will save a lot of money and time of the poor people of these regions. Circuit benches of the High Courts are already working in these areas and only requirement is the additional staff of different departments involved in additional work at the provincial capitals. The concern authorities should immediately consider to upgrade the regional cities. And immediate attention should be given upgrade/build the airports,TV station, civic center, libraries,hospitals, educational institutes and investment opportunities for Pakistanis living abroad and foreign firms to create jobs in the area as majority population in rural Pakistan do not have enough resources to survive. It remind me the condition of pre Islamic revolution of Iran in Shah time when the rural Iran was ignored and the capital Tehran was developed in a way to call it Paris of Middle East with modern life style. Couple of other big cities like Isfahan and Caspian sea was taken care of because of foreign tourists but rural area was ruled by cruel police and intelligence. Then what happen rural population supported the Islamic revolution and moved to Tehran and other big cities later on. The new government after revolution developed, built and upgraded the rural areas of Iran accordingly. A fund to upgrade/build these regional cities in Pakistan should be introduced by public and private sector and Pakistani government, our foreign friends and Pakistanis living abroad may be asked to participate in this development mission in the country..KHWAJA AFTAB ALI,( former secretary, Iranian embassy, Saudi Arabia,1975-88) Advocate High Court & I.P.

Who says there is no feudal in Pakistan. Rural Pakistan is control by the feudals, even in urban areas one can see the people who work hard and other who exploit the situation and make money in the name of Muslim saints or family lands. Our ruling class of so called politicians is from feudals and then industrialist follow them for power in authoritarian society. Law making body-the Majlish Shora, parliament -the senate , national assembly, provincial assembly and district council , every where the members are feudal, indusrialists, drug barons and /or Rtd. corrupt police officers with few Rtd, army officers as well. The writer of the this article and a leading scholar Dr. Aisha Siddiqa is also from feudal class with extra ordinary intelligence. I agree with some people that one should do some thing instead of suggestions. I have done some thing by leaving my home land as it’s hopeless there; unless there is rule of law not the law of ruler and we should follow the rule accordingly. Very simple law of inheritance can change our country’s future. What ever law we follow, Islamic or British- Muslim personal law, the property should be divided accordingly after the death of a person in a reasonable time but what happen in our country- this is the basic problem. If division of property is done by the law, there will be no feudal and if there is no feudal: the country will flourish. See rest of the world specially the developed world where majority people from under developed countries want to come. All the best for the rest of the people all over the world.
