Why you guys surprised!!
I told you so many times, this man is an agent. He is paid handsomely to oppose Pakistan. If it was about India he would have been showering praises and sledging Pakistan.
What Asad Umer said is that the "Inflation" is now under control. IF they tighten up the problem with the current account deficit, which is declining slowly the dollar rate would come down gradually and benefits would be seen even for the imported items.
But there is no doubt, Pakistan cannot afford to keep importing without consequences.
This is a vicious circle which must be broken. More imports means higher current account deficit, which means dollars rising again against rupee making everything more expensive. Devaluing rupee. Increasing foreign debt in Rupee terms. Then they would say PTI has borrowed so much, which in fact is just the increase due to weaker rupee.
The answer is that you improve the quality controls for locally manufactured goods.
The problem in Pakistan is 2 numberi , dishonesty, making easy and quick profit etc. This could only be control with strict control, implementation of law. Closing down factories, which do re-open after bribes are paid is not the answer. You close the factories, you arrest culprits sent them to the jail for a very long period, especially if they were risking people's health and life. Confiscate their properties, make them penniless. When the wider community would see that people would think twice before doing beimani.
Klasara is a dumb arse.
