Govt asks economist Atif Mian to step down from Economic Advisory Council

[BHarwana]

I proved my point of transparency with NAFTA. You are fooling yourself actually.

Now where is the report highlighting pros and

Why do you need the report on CPEC?

 

[The Diplomat]

Nope. Mirza Ghulaam Ahmed made this takfir.

And who repents us in the modern day? An Islamic scholar? If one says something which is wrong then it must be condemned, one can not represent the whole community.

You must know that Pakistan was not an Islamic Republic until Zia came into power. I have read it and sure, there may be certain paragraphs quoting the Quran however will the running of the state be effected if a non Muslim takes command of the country for 5 years? Majority of our MPs will most likely be Muslim. The power is in the hands of the MP.

It's Gen Zia s legacy we pakistanis r facing even after his death till toady. The damage this man gave to Pakistan is beyond repair Don't know when we will get rid of his legacy generations after generations passed.

You are wrong. Islamic Republic of Pakistan was in 1956 Constitution.

I do not need it; I just wanted to make a point and highlight its logic.

My point is about telling select economic advisors what they want to know so they get to work.

That one started that 'community'!

A vast majority of the nation is radicalized, not going to go away any time soon.

That is why Atif Mian has been rejected because he was asking for reports even before he was selected as economic advisor. If you want a report I can tell you where to get it from.

The Objectives Resolution came way before Zia. And so did 1956.

MPs or not.
PM is a big post. Can not get around that.

It is plain and clear as daylight that a non Muslim cannot be justly called upon to lead Pakistan.
How can he if he does not believe in the Quran and Sunnah? To expect that from him is just utterly foolish. How can someone work for something that he does not believe in, just on a psychological level?
Even the Secularists understand this, hence why some of them wish to change the Constitution....

He is their Prophet!

The PM's job is to serve the nation. For one to become PM they must be patriotic. Anyone can serve the nation, no matter of their religion.

Religion and state must be two different things.

 

[American Pakistani]

First shameful act of govt. Bowing deep to terrorists and extremists.

What has his religion got to do with his work you du3bfk?

 

[The Diplomat]

He is their Prophet!

Oh right. Well he should be condemned.

Coming back to the original topic. What does Atif Mian being an Ahmedi have to do with him serving this nation as an economic adviser? He is more than capable to do that.

 

[Jungibaaz]

Who cares about Atif Mian's impeccable credentials, who cares that he's possibly the top economist of Pakistani origin in the world right now. Who cares if we need bailout money today and water tomorrow. Replace him with Khadim Rizvi and be done with it.

Yes but the Constitution does not hold your opinion. That is what I’m trying to tell you.

In order for your opinions to become “State Opinion” , the Constitution must be changed to remove the explicit reference to Islam, Quran, Sunnah, etc etc.
I mean the State Religion is Islam. It’s there in simple letters. Now it is absurd to have a head of State who does not believe in its own Religion.

Oh right. Well he should be condemned.

That is what the State of Pakistan did to him and those who follow him in 1974 under the glorious premiership of the democratically elected liberal Mr Bhutto.

 

[Peaceful Civilian]

hmm, strange
the PTI government didnt seem like, that they'd bow before extremists

And people says imran khan is brave man. And he don't bow, he stand with right instead of bowing to pressure groups.
But He proved as cat. Meow Meow infront of few dozen religious nuts.

First shameful act of govt. Bowing deep to terrorists and extremists.

To maximize votes in by-election and that too from illiterate areas.
