Pakistan suffered loss of $188bn during war on terror, says Dar

If that is the truth why in hell Pakistan is involved in this war?? How much billions were poured by Sam in this war?? This kind of nonsense make pakis look very bad and liars, no one believes them. You have increased the defense budget not due to war on terror but bamboo from real Sharif the actual ruler of Pakistan.

YOU are a finance minister let public know the balance sheet and facts from where this $188 billions figure you got. Otherwise it is cooked up figure and a lie.

when there will be no common man left in pakistan due to hunger/poverty, what will this 600,000 man army defend? Just their bases and cantt areas ?

Keep increasing defense budget while there are no hospitals, medicine, clean water, electricity, etc.
The educated people are leaving for other countries, looters and the looted will remain there to rule.

While all these *******s fly off for vacations to dubai, london, jeddah, usa, switzerland, etc

Defense spending appears to be a priority worldwide. Chest thumping gets people to power. More chest thumping retains them in power.

Let us all wave our jhandas and thump our chests.

Re: Pakistan suffered loss of $188bn during war on terror, says Dar

Pakistan spent Rs 77 billion on defence during 2015-16.
India spent Pk Rs 400 billion on defence during 2015-16.

Pakistani corrupts looted the country off Rs 8000 billion during 2015-16 … or mroe than 10 times Pakistan defence budget.

So, who is the winner?

So, for Pakistan to go forward, law should be enacted that anyone who holds or held public office (as politician or government servant), and ‘they or their close relatives’ are found living or/and holding wealth (assets … properties, bank balances, in and out of Pakistan), they should be considered as corrupts and should be asked to justify each and every penny they or/and their close relatives have. If they could not then all their properties should be confiscated and they should be hanged.

Re: Pakistan suffered loss of $188bn during war on terror, says Dar

So according to you Pakistan spent Rs. 477 billions in two years on defense budget. If you convert into $s that comes out to be $4.77 billions. Where $188 billions come from which minister said, were spent to war on terror?? If Pakistan paid this huge amount on war on terror, where in the hell this money come from? Can you link how much Sam paid for war on terror since 911?

If Pakistan would have spent $188 billions on Schools, health care, energy, clean drinking water, it would have been a heaven for poor people of Pakistan.

Corruption is another subject please stick to topic. Your comments needed a new topic.

Re: Pakistan suffered loss of $188bn during war on terror, says Dar

People need to realize the difference between cost and spending.

These numbers are just estimates of the loss different sectors of our economy suffered because of the security situation and war on terror fiasco over many years of our involvement. This is not the actual amount of dollars "spent".

Re: Pakistan suffered loss of $188bn during war on terror, says Dar

o.k. Every tom, dick and harry will give such figures without facts. For argument sake if this figure is taken to be correct, then why in the hell Pakistan has been involved in war on terror????? Who is responsible??? Minister has failed to disclose how much aid has been received from Sam on this war.

Re: Pakistan suffered loss of $188bn during war on terror, says Dar

it all goes to their pockets, so their kids and families can live abroad in dubai, usa, uk, etc and live lavish life
they go rule pakistan and emptry its treasury and then get loans from WB and IMF
