Absolutely Bull Shit: Jang has score to settle but you must have read it as well. The first ten lines against one sentence written in article "If Pakistan’s economic woes are reaching a new nadir, the trajectory was established during Khan’s term"
1. Bowing down to hardliners, it as referred to Atif Mains Appointment in Economic advisory committee. (He dared but our hardliner brothers were furious Ahmadi Lobby you used to call him. And now using his decision to refrain for any confrontation against him.
2. The article do criticize him for reverting back to IMF after initially not opting it, which you and your like minded call U Turn. Than the writer in article gives a general statement "Mismanagement exacerbated global headwinds from the pandemic and soaring oil prices." while mentioning same in the article " Pakistan received praise for its handling of the pandemic, with deaths per capita just a third that of neighboring India." I have mentioned it green because the critique than turn over to only death comparison. However we know our economy was stable Textile and large scale manufacturing performed excellently.
3. The third thing which they publish is "Meanwhile, little was done to address Pakistan’s fundamental structural issues: few people pay tax, least of all the feudal landowners who control traditional low-added-value industries like sugar farms, textile mills, and agricultural interests while wielding huge political-patronage networks stemming from their workers’ votes."
Now tell me, even the Report Published by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics last year with PDM Government incharge the tax collection was highest in FY-21-22/FY-20-21 despite the lockdowns and political situations. For that even , we remember Traders Lockdowns of Faisalabad, Lahore and Rawal Pindi markets when Government made ID Card Copy a mandatory requirement of 50K plus transaction. I literally heard that guy Paracha leader of traders (I Would Say Smugglers as they like to sell cheap goods cleared with out tax paid or under invoiced etc) "How we can ask a lady for ID Card if she shops for above 50K." Than the xxxx xxxx actual mediated as the law and order was getting out of hand. Similar situation we saw when on transportation Govt tried to implement the weight regime for trucking industry mafia opposed it, transporters stared strike at supper highway toll plaza xxxx xxxx shot down 03 or 04 people got killed and till date the matter is gone. These are only a few examples. Than B team of PML N the Crane Molvis were used by traders funded them to keep Govt a bay form any reforms. Specially the dissolution of privileges' given by PML N to trader mafia which is exemption form Inventory Auditing. The topic of Crane Molvis is also mentioned in article. Where are they now, they have restored Hurmet e Rasool now definitely.
