^ wow… what a load of BS. Major ECON 101 fail.

per capita GDP growth is NOT GDP growth / population growth rate

You cannot compare PBS figures across time since they have been re-based in 1999 and 2005.

On topic: Yes, Zia did a lot of bad things. The article is trying to justify those but is a failed attempt. Zia’s period was one of the most suffocating period for our society.

Having said that, He HAS BEEN DEAD for quarter of a century now. We didn’t do much to remove his legacy anyways. We should really stop blaming him for every terrible thing that happens in our country and try to see what the people coming AFTER him did. Were they any better?

Yar … Jahil baton say pahlay kuch parh liya karo.

NO re-basing can change growth figures that are figures in percentage.

Further, PBS figures for Pakistan (other countries have their own statistical department) are THE only figures that are taken as prime reference figures, and all other figures, even world bank or IMF figures, they are secondary … taken (or derived) from PBS figures.
