Re: Sacrificing Pakistani citizens freedoms for national pride
Pakistani lobby in UK and US is not so strong because the residents don't use their influence in the right direction. There are so many professional Pakistanis who should form a committee and push for initiatives that benefit the homeland. It won't be a Pakistani vote the congressmen/Senators will be ignoring, but rather a muslim vote and i believe the number of muslims in US/UK to be quite strong. Just need to utilize it properly and engage in the country's affairs.
The dilemma is that many professional Pakistanis are just happy to be making a good living, and be able to support their families back home. Anything beyond that is asking too much (Just my observation)...That attitude needs to change. Pakistanis must involve themselves in American affairs more actively if they are to be recognized as a considerable identity that cannot be ignored.
