It was extremely stupid of Imran Khan to announce that we should expect good news. For a Prime Minister to raise the hope of the nation without concrete evidence shows a lack of maturity. Obviously, still, it has not sunk into him that he is the Prime Minister and he should carefully weigh his words before uttering them.

I am dismayed but not surprised. However, there is no reason for disappointment. I have always believed that the real wealth of the nation is her ‘Human Resource’.
This is the era of Technology; our aim should be to improve the quality of our technical education and training. Additionally, we need to inculcate in our youth that nations make real economic progress thru honest hard work instead of pinning our hopes on the oil/gas bonanza.
