There are a few things in the context of Pakistan which seem shady:

1. Depending upon the source of information the real GDP figure (using internet) varies between USD 175 to 300 billion

2. The situation of industries, inflation is in front of us. How is GDP still growing? Only because of agriculture?

Last year there were news of shortage of fertilizers and in rural areas electricity shortages range between 16-22 hours in average, that means no tube wells essentially. So how did we have bumper crops (especially in Punjab)?

Yeah Peer sahib ka faiz hay, aakhir to Ghous-e-Azam key aulaad Pakistan per hukumraaN hay!!! kuch tu miracles hooNgay!

On the serious note, i think the % of agriculture land using Electric Tubewell is not very big, i am not sure what the number!!! in Punjab Specially, Canals system is used for this purpose… then there are peter engine or they call it diesel engines and tractors which are used to pump water out of the ground and into the fields… may be that is reason we have better numbers in agriculture side…
