"Policy will cover all internal, external security aspects, including situation in Afghanistan and its impact on Pakistan, India". Since when and why have they started considering the impact either positive or negative on India?

Inflation at peak and poor dying of hunger, but concern and investments on security and defense increasing. People will eat grass and leaves but no compromise on security. Will spend more on missiles and weapons to make Pakistan stronger and stronger.

@Zainab , China used its massive population as cheap labour to become the world's manufacturing hub. India used its billions of people to export software engineers and cornered the tech and service industry. There is nothing wrong with a large population, as long as you use it well. Pakistan's problem is not the population, but rather lack of education, work ethics and drive.
