A Roadmap for Pakistan – Post NATO Withdrawal From Afghanistan

Respected Mr. Imran Khan Sahab.

AoA.

Sir,

The below write up titled “What next for Pakistan after Afghan peace agreement?” (Annex –  A) is to invite your kind attention towards the fact that Pakistan can only move forward, if:

~ We decide as a nation to keep domestic politics freezed, for say about next 10 years: and simply focus on national development agenda, by involving the entire nation and not keeping any relevant stake holder at bay. In fact, this will put horse (development agenda) before the cart (domestic politics).

~ Involvement of entire population by authentic decentralisation, without mixing any semblance of domestic politics. Our local bodies system has inherent manufacturing defect that the cart (domestic politics) is put before the horse (development). As such, keeping this objective in view, it has been proposed in the 1 March 2020 write up titled “What next for Pakistan after the Afghan peace agreement?” to wind up the current set up of provincial governance system (in a least disruptive manner) to be replaced with a set up of an administrative units.

In view of the fact that after wasting almost three quarters of a century in doldrums, Pakistan must now make up the lost time, without any further delay, because, it is certain that no amount of wealth or resources can develop our country, without first changing the existing decadent system, which was and is, basically designed to serve the elite, at the expense of the teeming millions, turning it into a country of ONLY the rich, FOR the rich BY the rich.
As such, our motherland needs every Pakistanis personal contribution, by way of our intellectual involvement, in bringing a genuine CHANGE of system in Pakistan, focussed on the needs of the have-nots of Pakistan.

Warm Regards,

What next for Pakistan after Afghan peace agreement?
We must remember that behind this defeat of the 50 NATO countries alliance in Afghanistan is Pakistan and the biggest proof, evidence, testimony & symbol of their defeat is that the sole super power of the world called the United States of America was forced to sign the peace deal not with its puppet government in Kabul, but with the Afghan Taliban Organization, which USA till date, has not officially recognised.

The defeat of NATO forces and victory of Taliban in Afghanistan war can also be measured with the statement of Dr. Henry Kissinger quoted as below:

Quote:“ The conventional army loses if it does not win. The guerrilla wins if he does not lose.” Unquote.

Moreover, the set back to the Indian designs (of sandwiching Pakistan from two fronts)  far more outweighs its impact, over the western countries. 

For Pakistan, this is a moment of retrospect and thanksgiving to Allah (SWT) Who has blessed us with the total withdrawal of the inimical forces and its operatives, from our western frontiers, which has been achieved by the supreme sacrifices of the hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis blood, under the able civilian and military leadership of the country.

Now, specially India (to safeguard its commercial interests) will need unhindered access through Pakistani land, air and sea space for connecting with the CAR countries. 

Further, the CPEC has suddenly become strategically even more important, for the regional countries of Arab peninsula up to Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam, Australia and NewZealand, for approach to CAR  countries.

In view of the foregoing, now Pakistan can be truly and suddenly turned into the gateway of China and CAR countries, for the this part of the fastest developing nations of the globe.

As such, Pakistanis must UNITE immediately to minimise politics from our body politic; and devote our entire repeat entire energies to aim for the following targets in next 10 years i.e., by the year 2030.

1. 100 % literacy of the population. 

2. 100 % education in population. 

3. 100 % Polio free population. 

4. 100 % toilets in homes.

5. $200 billion per year exports target.

6. 10% GDP growth.

7. 100 % self sufficiency in oil and gas supplies from domestic sources. 

8. Construction of dams for the next 75 year’s water & power needs.

9. 100 % villages to be provided electricity power from renewable power sources and construction of 100% farm to market metalled roads.

10. Radical reforms in the Judicatory, Police and  the Administrative sectors to cope with the modern day needs of the 21st century.

11. Creation of administrative units by eliminating the current governance system based on HUGE sized provinces. In this regard, each division should be called a unit and named as PK-1 to onwards. There should be no set up of governors and chief ministers.  Rather, each unit should be governed by an elected (on non party basis at least for first ten years) person who may be called Ameer or Mayor of the unit.This new set up is necessary, keeping in view of the failure of all other systems and set ups in Pakistan; and considering that decentralisation (not just in name, but in true sense, with total autonomy of all administrative and financial powers) is the main key for extremely fast speed development of Pakistan, with the sole aim of uplifting in ten years, more than 120 million poor people from below the 2 Dollar per day income level of earnings. Else, no civil or military government (led by any honest, sincere and competent leader) with the current system of governance (political, judicial, Police & Administration) can ever deliver for teeming millions of Pakistan, who, unfortunately, are being pushed below the poverty line threshold, with the advent of every new government.As such, CHANGE is the name of the game  for the survival of Pakistan, which has been unfortunately, left behind by ALL the countries of our region.
