The Chaudhries did not hijack the party of PML... it was ony nawaz, shahbaz and their relatives. The Chaudhry's opted out becuz they were already ignored by Nawaz & co.
Nawaz was the PM of PAK, Shahbaz the CM of Punjab and his uncle (abba ji's friend Rafiq Tarar) the President of PAK and Nawaz's daughter's father-in-law Ishaq Darr the Finance Minister and Ziauddin butt another Zaath paath of Nawaz the COAS of Army!
I have read this and similar articles many times.... but the problme is that I can personally detect many manipulations in the below article...as i know economic by heart.... by uusually amateur people require links to every single line and data.
I challenge anyone to take up PAK's progress and performance of the last 60 years, and you'll see that our economy always performed best in era of military.... the 60's and the 80's and the 2000..... averaging 6% GDP growth.... which the author acknowledges below:
During this time the economy grew at an average rate of 6.3 per cent a year. For the remaining 28 years, the economys performance was less impressive, the GDP increased at the annual rate of 4.7 per cent.
When authors point out the percentages to GDP, they forget to mention that the GDP itself has increased by over 100%. Our economy was worth $75 billion in 1999 and now its increeased to $160 billion.
Wrong! According to FBR (Federal Bereau of Revenues) the revenues were $5 billion in 1999 and they've grown to $11 billion in 2007. Yes, foreign flows is important as they bring in the desired capital, skills, management, technology, etc.
