United States of Punjab ?

Re: United States of Punjab ?

@Silaaj

So when the ‘Karachiite’ crosses over into Punjab after Sukkur (which would be the terribly backward south punjab, he feels like he has entered another country?
In any case, this is quashed by Fahad himself in the next para when he says that its a ‘slight exaggeration’ and goes on to make the more realistic comparison of Lahore and Karachi. Its more a case of the United States of Lahore and Raiwind than Punjab. A few lollipops of metros here and there dont translate into progress. Province wide progress is still a distant dream, not to mention the cost that all this infrastructure is incurring in the form of untenable loans.

Fahad Hussain has given a relative comparison of Punjab & other provinces, not declared that all is bright & colorful in Punjab !

Many loopholes and gaps yet to be plugged in Punjab, social sector spending,structural reforms etc but at least something ‘tangible’ can be seen on ground in Punjab instead of ‘hollow change mantra’ of PTI Govt. in KPK. Bhang wali Sarkar of Sindh is simply out of the equation !
