So fulfilling finally seeing a cricketing nation win a world cup, celebrating the way it deserves to be celebrated. Glaring difference between this and the empty streets of england and aus 👎🏻
This tweet by @SKhaqanAbbasi shows you why he is one of the few top leaders in Pakistan with sincerity and vision.
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had disagreed with PMLN’s policy for sometime and took a step back from elections (for the first time since 1988). In hindsight his decision looks prescient. Not because winning or losing is important, but because you should only go to the electorate with a purpose.
In our Reimagining Pakistan seminars, we emphasised that all stakeholders need to sit together and chart a way forward. This should have been done before the elections but can still be done. However, we need political leaders to show magnanimity and vision beyond their immediate interests.
I know so many political leaders have been victimised in the past unfairly. But it’s time to rise above self and show tolerance and make sacrifices and bring the country together.
While it is natural to feel helpless in the face of all this country has seen in the last few years, no matter what anyone tells you: your vote tomorrow matters.
There is no power greater than the power of the people.
What are these reforms? Why are they important? Why does Pakistan need them? And what does Pakistan need to do to bring them about? Read in Profit’s this week’s cover story by @meerubasw
