So the nation of 200 million people having only 64,159 companies. This is only 0.032% of the population owns a company in Pakistan. Such a shame

I know... My above post had nothing to do with with individual party so no idea why you chose to be inappropriate. I am also aware of 2.5 million small business in the country (almost 100% unregistered).

It is not a fault of any political party, it's the fault of entire system.... Such a shame
