Charter of Pakistan. A Clarion Call for The Survival
October 29, 2010 at 6:38pm
The demand of Mian Nawaz Sharif for a charter of Pakistan is a clarion call. Now the time has come to separate the growth, development, eradication of poverty & security of Pakistan from politics forever.
All other stake holders in Pakistan must immediately come forward for deciding about the direction of the future of the nation. In this regard, I will suggest that, we should aim to bring Pakistan, to the level of Singapore of 2010, by the year 2030.
All politics & considerations should be made subservient to this target for 2030, even if we have to abolish weekly holidays for the next 20 years & reduce our daily sleeping time to 6 hours.
I am more than confident that by the dint of sheer hard work, sincerity & honesty which is imbibed in the bones of Pakistani work force, we can rebuild our country into the comity of 20 developed nations of the world, in the next 15-20 years.
For the benefit of the general public, It will not be out of place to reproduce below my proposal to all the politicians submitted on 13 August, 2010 under the title ” An Excellent Opportunity for the Politicians ”
An Excellent Opportunity for the Politicians by Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad on Friday, August 13, 2010 at 5:54pm.
“Had Pakistan built some large dams in the wasted 10 years of Musharraf era, today the impact of floods would have been on a much reduced scale. These floods are an eye opener for those myopic politicians, who can’t see beyond their nose.
Today (13 August, 2010), Pakistan is economically standing, even behind the stage of 14th August 1947, where foreign exchange reserves are USD 15 billions against loans of about USD 60 billions.
We always crib that dictators had no vision & they did nothing for the long term benefit of Pakistan. Now we must turn this crisis into an opportunity, by planning for at least 100 years ahead.
The Prime Minister must immediately activate the parliament along with all the out of parliament forces, to jointly sit and agree on a 100 years growth and development vision for Pakistan. This vision should be divided into 20 five years plans on which all the politicians should agree.
This planning will give a clear direction to the nation and also save the time and energy of the incumbent and ensuing political governments in useless debates of which dam or project is in the national interest, or against it.
It must also be remembered that changing environmental conditions, are going to be the biggest challenge in very near future, for countries like Pakistan. And let there be no mistake that areas spared by floods this time may always be safe. The future environmental calamities may even be on a much larger scale, engulfing more than one nation. What recently happened in LEH (IOK), should be an eye opener for the entire SAARC countries.
So any future planning, must also be in coordination with and take care of the interests of the neighbouring nations, because no single country has the capacity to survive the adversities of the nature, alone.”
