Anyone wants to become Billionaire ... Pakistani Style?

Re: Anyone wants to become Billionaire … Pakistani Style?

Bhai jaan, aap her mamlay may Fauji ko kewn ghaseet latay hou? Fauji ka kiya demag kay shareef wali trick ker sakay? :slight_smile:

From what I know, maybe 1 in 100 fauji general in Pakistan may have Rs 1000 million ($10 million) and that also if they are fortunate to get into business. Few may have made some money from corruption, but making money in big way from corruption is very rare. Even though they could have become billionaires using above method, in Pakistan, only Politicians have used it to become billionaires.

Let see …:

Gen Sikandar Mirza: even though he ruled Pakistan as dictator, after out of power, he led a very poor life in UK … according to some news, working as bus-conductor in UK to make his ends meet (at that time, UK buses used to have conductors too).

Gen Ayub kahn: had 2 kid. It is true that Gauhar Ayub made some money during his rule, but it was mostly due to economic growth at that time and Gauhar Ayub partnering with Americans (I believe he made his money mostly from Gandhara Industries). Still, Gauhar Ayub in comparison to political corrupts is modestly placed.

Gen Yahya Khan: Very few people may know, but his son ‘Ali Yahya Khan’ was working as second grade office (under 17 grade) where very few people knew that he was son of Yahya Khan.

Gen Zia-ul-Haq: He had 3 kids and very few people know their names. His son Anwar-ul-Haq is leading a very modest life. Ijaz-ul-Haq worked in bank outside Pakistan (in middle east) for years before joining politics after his father’s death, though he is not super rich as most Pakistani politicians are. Zia’s daughter Zian is also leading a modest life.

Gen Musharraf: His son ‘Bilal’ works in USA and never even came to Pakistan to lead a Prince life and suck the blood of Pakistan. He is leading a very modest life in USA, living in modest house and surviving on his earned income.

General Umer was DMO during Yahya Khan … read the way Asad Umer and his siblings led their life, and you would know how middle class life they had, moving around in Karachi buses, hanging on door of buses just like other students, while studying at Karachi University (not oxford or Cambridge … the way Kanjars send their kids with stolen money), and so on.

Actually, other than Gauhar Ayub, no one heard names of dictators’ children, certainly not as Princes and princesses, even when Generals were in power. None of the above generals who ruled Pakistan became multi-millionaires on corruption money, neither created empire what Pakistani Kanjar politicians (like Shareefs, Zardaris, and Bhuttos) have done … even though, if they were doing same what Pakistani Kanjar Politicians do when in power (and occasionally out of power too), using wrong means to loot and plunder the country, all of them could have been multi billionaires and we would have seen their children moving around like Princes and princesses in and out of Pakistan.
