WHAT is the government’s strategy to handle the frail economy? What are our plans to create 10 million jobs? How are we supporting local industries to cut imports? What is our strategy to educate the children with a common syllabus and cease the class difference at least in education?

When will equal health facilities be available for all? When will our hospitals be able to treat the elite class of the country?

PTI surveyed the first 100 days of its government at provincial and federal levels. What about next 365 days? For every new development project, we are dependent on the developed countries. The cost doesn’t matter.

We have dozens of professional educational institutions which are producing hundreds of professionals yearly, yet we are not able to begin the journey of excellence. Where is the missing link? Who will step forward to serve, not to rule the country?

As citizens of Pakistan, we do not trust each other.

Let’s not only hope for the best but take steps at individual and government levels in a way that speaks of our intentions for progress.
