Elections every five years a tragedy: PM Imran Khan

[AZ1]

He is rightly so pmln and ppp dont deserve to come back they will come back and will take billions of dollar as loan and distribute among corrupt people and then settle in london.

The only thing they worked on is tarbella 4 under world bank, that too has a long story, that is something they did right. Neelam Jehlum is the most expensive hydro power project in Pakistan with tariff in double digits in cents. So is Karot.

Azad Pattan and Kohala both were negotiated brilliantly under current government, both have upto 33% cheaper tariff. So is Mohmand, Dasu and Diamer Basha dam are not IPP and are he cheapest.

Azad Pattan Hydropower Project

The Azad Pattan hydropower project is a 700MW hydroelectricity facility being developed on the Jhelum River in Pakistan occupied Azad Jammu Kashmir.

They are so dumb as to quote the production per unit cost of both RLNG and imported coal plants but not the actual tariff in cents which is what the actual cost is to the government. This is how they fool the common man with the mantra 'cheapest'. How much ROI is guaranteed, how much is the capacity payment, how much is the interest payment on these state backed commercial loans these Chinese investors took.

Every thing you mentioned is included in cost per unit, it not why this government is objecting? This government is not objecting because it knows every thing is included in tariff. You should visit NEPRA website more often to understand tariff awarded to different plants.

Erdogan, Mahatir, Sheikh Zaid, China, Hasina are the prime examples. One should understand the inherent difference in the psychology of our people and the whites.

One must be extremely delusional if they actually believe the pseudo liberal ( the patriotic dissent against the state) version of democracy. Even the parties themselves are not democratic.

He change Chief Secretaries, DPOs, IGs DCs etc. on average after every three months but he want to remain PM for 20 years without performing??

Prime Minister Imran Khan Thursday said no nation could move forward without long-term planning and it was tragic that governments in Pakistan could not make long-term planning due to the general election every five years.

Addressing a function here in connection with documentary-drama (Paani ke Pankh), he termed the 10 years of PPP and PML-N governments from 2008 through 2018 the decade of darkness, marred by massive corruption, political expediency and inefficiency.

“When criminals become country heads, then no country can develop. So, one has to have faith in oneself. There are talented Pakistanis in every field outside Pakistan. The country’s system has to be fixed,” he said.

“It takes a little time; people should not worry that the change has not come yet. It takes time to change the mindset. It’s tragic that in our country elections are held every five years due to which we do not have a long-term plan,” he continued.
He said dams were built with a long-term plan and cited China as a country that is becoming the world's fastest growing economic power and superpower because of long-term planning.

“When we visited China, they told us what they were going to do in the next 10 to 20 years. No nation can move forward unless it has a long-term plan and thinks ahead. Unfortunately, we have a period of five years. We try to accomplish everything in five years, spend billions of rupees on advertisements and then fight elections on it,” he pointed out.

Imran believed that this handicap had done a lot of damage to Pakistan. “We have made decisions in a short period of time due to which we generate the most expensive electricity in the entire subcontinent. Whether we buy electricity or not, the agreements are such that in 2013 we had to pay Rs180 billion a month to the power producers as compulsory payment. When our government came, it was Rs500 billion,” he noted.

We need a strong leader like Putin,Erdogan etc who rules Pakistan WITH THE STATE OF PAKISTAN for at least 10/15 years. But he should not have said that out loud. The state of Pakistan needs to make itself stronger quietly, silently and stop making stupid sacrifices/deals just so their sons can study, party and fornicate in America, UK or West.

Why don't you give example of Robert Mughabe??

Leader se kuch nahi hoga yaha issue system ka hai. Very limited power to PM. If he try to do something good then media and opposition will create isssue and then judges are on sale.

We need someone like hitler, ban media and eliminate traitors. Be done with case in weeks either here or there.

Actually election is not the issue but the weakness of the institutes. Planning is responsibility of institutes think tanks and bureaucrates.

Imran khan is highlighting the right issue i.e. lack of long term planning but mentioning the wrong reason i.e. elections.

The actual reason is corrupt political system. Imagine giving 10 years to PPP without any threat. They will make a havoc.

Even for PTI the pressure of accountibilitu and delivery is something which will keep them in check.

The focus should be on building institutes and real results we will see after atleast a decade
As a nation we need to show some restrain and patience.

He is in London right now

Bro he never said that what he actually said is these election based policies of previous governments have destroyed us. He gave an example of dams, no big dams were constructed. At least read the article.

 

[TheSnakeEatingMarkhur]

Were you residing in Pakistan from 2008-18?

Most of the times like 2010 to 2016

He change Chief Secretaries, DPOs, IGs DCs etc. on average after every three months but he want to remain PM for 20 years without performing??

Mate his performance in many aspects has been better than Naju looter.. and its upto people to choose him for 20 years or not...

Now 5 years is too little for him.

Such is the addiction of power. The lust of power.

Doesn't every Pharoah, every dictator, every tyrant that wrecked terror upon the earth wished for more years of power but died yearning for it.

everyone dies one day or another. Question is what one have achieved in his life before dying.

The changes he made are the fundamental cornerstone to achieve a sustainable balanced growth. Economic prosperity is not a 5 year game.
I can tell from first hand experience the sentiment in business community is positive.

It's not a question of 'we shall soon see' we have suffered through it in our past. Due to this cycle we have already wasted a decade, a decade that our rivals have taken advantage to the fullest. It's a question of can we afford an another such decade.

Let me just say only this, for now, that the end of PMIK's present term will surely be interesting to watch, in many ways.

Jahalat is in the DNA of Nooni Toons. No wonder their leader is Nawaz Sharif.

He said election related projects that were implemented within 5 years to win next elections is the biggest tragedy.

Pakistan must become an authoritarian state to progress.

I called this last year and people laughed at me for saying that.

Opinion: Pakistan must become an authoritarian state to progress

I posted this in the Musharraf thread but I'm gonna post it here too Musharraf was right about Judiciary , Lawyers e.t.c . Time has proved it . Pakistan needs to be ruled by the military and it has always been better this way. Military knows how to run this country with an iron fist and that...

Now Imran Khan says the same thing and everyone here claims they knew all along.

Look in my thread from April last year and you will see all the bloodsuckers who laughed at me for saying months ago what Imran Khan is saying now.

I have always said that Pakistan must become an authoritarian state to progress and anyone who really has the well being of Pakistan in their heart including Imran Khan will come to the same conclusion sooner or later.
