New Government

So, they’re in office , and they’ve been working.

What have they accomplished?

Other than restoring judges. Which is not surprising - every regime that comes in knocks off some people off posts and inserts other more favored individuals.

What have they done for Pakistan? Has restoring the judges improved the judicial system and how? Any other improvements?

Patience O Lil One ... Patience, just give them time to shine.

Re: New Government

PCG it's unfair to judge their performance until atleast 6-9 months have NOT elapsed.

abhi juma juma aath din nahin huey....kum se kum 100 days to pooray ho janay dee jiye, aagay aagay dekhiye hota hai kya!

Re: New Government

They finished off militancy, Pakistan achieved 10% GDP growth for 5 years… what else do you need to ask?

oh wait, its still March 2008, oh darn :bummer:

Re: New Government

Inshallah it will happen. :slight_smile:

Even if Pakistan continues to grow around 7% that would be great achievement. 10% would be fantastic. I am sure under the great leadership Zardari it will happen. :k:

Re: New Government

Do not expect anything to change fast enough to the extent of surprise. Just hope and pray that they have learned some lessons from their and other's past and will stay the course of peace and prosperity.
and oh yes prosperity of people of Pakistan not their own.

Re: New Government

Its fair to expect "nothing" from these crooks, as this is the 3rd time they are incharge.

Re: New Government

It's far too early to ask this. I was a huge fan of the Old Regime and even I must say that you can't possible expect any government, especially a democratic coalition that is hobnobbled by having to work on censensus, to deliver results in 2 weeks.

Ask again in 2 months.

Re: New Government

Lol... I guess it is too early to ask what they have accomplish... I think we should give them like a six month period before we ask what they have accomplished.

Re: New Government

zardari spent 7 years in jail... gilani spent 5 years...mmMM i detect a pattern my dear Watson.

Re: New Government

LOL, someone is sore their favourite dictator is on his way out :cb:

After 9 years, dictator supporters say ‘he did not have enough time’.

Then one of them asks what a new govt, that is is not even fully formed yet has done. :rotfl:

Re: New Government

Actually it should be "unfair to judge until atleast 6-9 months have NOT elapsed or before 6-9 months have elapsed"...my bad!
Well if you think about it, it's not their 3rd but (combined) 5th go; I sincerely hope though that they have learnt their lessons this time around.

Re: New Government

At least ganja has done something for a start..

ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has apparently distributed the key ministries given to his party in the Gilani cabinet among his “family and friends”. :smiley:

Re: New Government

Nothing can be done until Musharraf is in power.

He is public enemy number 1 as obvious by the verdict given by the people of Pakistan. The immediate task on hand for this govt. is to remove him. Undo the many undemocratic unconstitutional changes he has made. Remove all of the dumb generals from the many positions of power. Lets book these a-holes and put them in jail for a long time until cases of corruption are proved.

The public has had enough of the military. They should be a sent a clear message on who is the real boss. These dogs are there to protect the public... we didnt raise these dogs to turn around and bite the owner. The dogs that bite should be killed. So its time to make an example out of this for any future generals by delivering swift justice.

Re: New Government

You're not far off being a dictator yourself. (pun intended)

Re: New Government

at least country is not bearing burden of 70 odd ministers saving hefty money..

Re: New Government

Okay. What have they done? They have established a plan of action and discussed projects regarding electricity supply. They did that in 2 weeks. Musharraf did not do that in 8 years! 8 years. What a bloody leader. No bloody foresight whatsoever.

From what I hear from friends and family is that they have started to discuss ways to make food stuffs cheaper and give the poor people an economic break. They also increased a minimum wage for the average person. Though not enough considering all the economic inequality, it is something Musharraf never did.

So in 2 weeks they have taken three steps in the right direction, albeit they are a couple of 100,000 miles behind, but they are still far ahead of Musharraf in this regard.

Re: New Government

One of the two debatable measures they have taken are: Restoration of trade unions and restoration of student unions. These could have serious implications on Pak's economy and education.

Re: New Government

One of the Geo's news slide quotes I Dar as " the increase in support price for wheat wont increase the price of flour"!

Re: New Government

The PM has announced increase of minimum wage from current level of 4,600 to 6,000 effective July 1. For your information the level of minimum wage increased to 4,600 from 2,500 during last 8 years.
