Ayub Khan desired Friends Not Masters/ Do we today really want “investors” and “Not” Masters? Some circles have rightly shown their deep concerns on everything being offered on sale preferably to foreigners.

Though privatization is also being done in other countries but not madly with blind eyes only and only to put the cash in kitty and through cash prove success of economic policies. The other countries do privatize but mostly to locals. I read that British sold their telecommunication company and gas company but only to its own people and tried that application form does read to each member of the public. In our case the privatization is do being done that foreign investor is free to do everything and he is a Master of his company. In May this year when there was lot of cries about load shedding the MQM Minister Babar Ghouri cried that KESC new foreign investors did nothing. The people like me wrongly thought that perhaps MQM has woke up for the people though expecting this from it is fool oneself. Babar Ghouri soon and his party soon closed their lips because the foreign investor put very sweet tasty “jailabees” in their mouth. The KESC foreign investors are Saudi. They are today our masters. Their security chief can come, boldly address press conference and take a Pakistan forcibly with him abroad. I do not know if there is any example in the world if a security agency chief has openly come on TV or addressed press conference even in their own country let alone on a foreign country (foreign country not a sovereign country) UAE has invested in Pakistan phones. It has dictated such terms which our rulers have no courage to even tell the assembly. Like others they too are not investors today but masters and being Masters they can of course close our TV channels and it should not surprise us at all. Geo, ARY Oneworld I am sure would soon open but only after elections have been held. General Pervaiz Musharraf will open it because by then he would have achieved what he wanted by closing these channels.

Excellent thoughts.
Exactly what most Mushy supporters have failed to understand. Nor will they ever understand how Pak is experiencing one economic boom after another. Every one is just after figures not their main actuators, which can proof as very expensive on the longer run.
