The emphasis on religion by #CorruptPakLeaders in #Pakistan's politics attracts millions of people who have become politically and economically disempowered over the years and are confused as to how and who will address their issues.

#Pakistan’s economic situation requires fresh thinking and a clear approach. The blame game, where each government passes the buck to its predecessor, has reached saturation point. #FailingPakistan@UzairYounus

In addition to #CorruptPakLeaders' incompetence, political patronage is a key ingredient to malfunctioning, leading to a heavy burden on the federal exchequer in #Pakistan.

There is stress in the supply chain of every single product in the Pakistani market, whether that is something as basic as wheat or something intermediate like electricity, or something slightly more advanced as automobiles.

They have used anti-corruption rhetoric to justify the removal of several governments, dating back to #Pakistan's creation. The generals, as we have seen, are equally corrupt.

While dynasticism and patronage are part of #Pakistan’s political structure, the military is not a superior alternative. Its generals use institutional power to manipulate resources to lift themselves out of their middle-class backgrounds & become part of elite.

Elites devoured the resources of #Pakistan without making any sustainable developments. Throughout the brief history of this country, they kept vanquishing each other directly or indirectly to satisfy their needs. #FailingPakistan@YousufNazar

#Pakistan needs a radical break from the past policies but nobody wants to do it because of lack of political will and determination. #FailingPakistan@kaiserbengali
IMF is delaying its 24th loan, and the Saudis and the UAE have warned #Pakistan that they will no longer serve free lunch. The country is stuck in a quagmire.
#FailingPakistan@UzairYounus
However, other politicians should also be held accountable for their contributions. The PTI and PDM leaderships have shown since last year that when their political interests are at stake, they don't give a damn about the nation's economic health.

The current finance minister is mostly responsible for this economic catastrophe in #Pakistan as he has failed to develop any reasoned or cogent plans to save the economy.

According to reports, only 75,000 jobs have been created in #Pakistan linked to #CPEC far short of the estimated 1.5 million jobs per year promised in the original plan.

#CPEC has brought little economic value to #Pakistan. Projects once hailed for their promise to bring employment and wealth, have instead been built by Chinese labour, equipment, and materials.

It’s true that fuel prices are increasing everywhere, impacting people in well-off countries as well. But the oligarchy of army leaders & politicians in #Pakistan has been cunningly placing the economic pressure of these burdens on the poor for too long now.
@husainhaqqani
There is something terribly wrong with the governance & administration of taxes in #Pakistan, as 1/3 of revenue collected every year is used for interest payments to foreign lenders rather than providing health and food to the people.
