That's absolute nonsense pushed by liberal and Indian morons who understand nothing and provide no actual evidence to support their arguments.
If you're interested to know why Pakistan's economy suffers I had a discussion with @That Guy on this subject and I've linked two of my more recent posts below (they can be quite technical but all the information is referenced and I provide ample charts/figures to help you understand).

I can discuss the subject further with you if you're interested just let me know.
With regards to the oil and gas sector my impression is that you're more interested in crude oil/gas exports so let's look at OPEC's own site where they reference that information and you'll find that petroleum exports only account for about 43% of Saudi Arabia's GDP, 32% of UAE's GDP and 31% of Qatars GDP.
Now you're correct that oil/gas exports do make up a significant portion of those countries respective budgets but let's take a look at Venezuela which is secular and a member of OPEC with proven crude oil reserves larger than those of Saudi Arabia.
Petroleum exports make up about 23% of Venezuela's GDP and account for 95% of its exports yet it's GDP/capita is 1/2 that of Saudi Arabia's, almost 1/4th that of the UAE's and about 1/8th that of Qatar's. So why is Venezuela poorer despite its larger oil reserves and secular constitution along with resources that Gulf nations do not possess like arable land, gold, timber, fresh water, etc...?
The same can be said about Russia, another secular nation, which the US EIA states oil and gas accounted for 68% of their exports and 47% of government revenues yet its GDP/capita is also almost 1/2 of Saudi Arabia's, 1/4th that of the UAE's and 1/8th that of Qatar's. So why is Russia poorer despite its abundance of oil and gas along with a secular constitution also with resources that Gulf states do not possess like abundant arable land, timber, gold, coal, fresh water, etc...?
Furthermore, look at the crime rates in secular Venezuela and Russia in comparison to Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia there is no comparison the Muslim nations, without destructive secularism, are far safer and far more prosperous.
Also if you have a chance look over my previous post on this thread regarding secularism and Pakistan where I go into detail with proof and rebuttals that Jinnah, Allama Iqbal, etc... wanted an Islamic nation and provide ample of how destructive secularism has been around the world:
Abandoning status as "Islamic Republic" | Page 29
Save the cookie for yourself. It short form for a fascist liberal retard.
Do you actually know that liberalism is actually the exact opposite of fascistism? And the chances of there being a "facist liberal" is the same of who providing a solid argument?
Also, remind me again of how Jinnah and Iqbal were the absoulete demi-gods who could have never made a mistake? What if their vision of Pakistan was not something that could work? That means we have to change that.
What's your problem with secularism is it's essence anyways, without pointing out irrelevant and absurd examples from around the world? Again, going by your logic an Islamic State is a violent state because the ISIS behead people...
So remains B'desh on today's date an Islamic republic. But I fail to understand, why the Military rule was incapable of joining itself with the Muslim block in 50-60'S. The Official declaration of Pakistan as Islamic republic would have opened it's doors to the muslim block.
The "Muslim Block" is a joke composed of failed states. Pakistan is better of associating itself with South Asia.
