Its no surprise that nowadays our keyboard warriors have no idea about our recent past, the era of 90s which in 4 governments were thrown to ashes by almost same characters which we are watching on screens nowadays. I can clearly recall the sharif's address to the nation in which he announced to inaugurate Kala Bagh Dam, after which volcano erupted through the statements of Sindhi nationalists, MQM leaders, and Prime Minister was forced to discontinue his move. I can recall the Turkish companies which were constructing motorways and they were forced to leave Pakistan in BB's second tenure in 93, at a point when lahore Islamabad motorway was 95% complete.... and those companies protested massively, abandoning all its heavy equipment and machinery behind which were than auctioned on dirt price. When Nawaz took charge again in 1997, same companies came back, but till than losses were immense already. Same is exactly what's happening with orange line...first challenge it in the courts on environmental issue basis causing 2 years delay.. now reluctant to finish this because of N leagues stamp...Clearly, you are not familiar with the Kaala baag dam and the history of political leaders that PTI houses right now that have been anti- Kaala baag dam at one point. That was the energy source proposed in 90s but through the consensus, that energy source rejected officially.
Energy source is important but so is motorway, orange line, metro express, and among other things. People were against motorway but thanks to the motorway, it opened many opportunities for the trade in terms of local and international [Afghanistan+China].
People were against Nuclear programs because they couldn't afford foods. But it is Nuclear programs that keeps India at bay. To this day, Pakistan has bought extra time and safety net to avoid circumstance like Middle East/Afghanistan.
Whether you admit it or not, PMLN had more history of investment for the economy of Pakistan than any leaders combined in the history of Pakistan except Ayub Khan. Most of them had different plan for different times. Zia-ul-Haq, another fine leader, was busy defending Pakistan through the resistance to tear USSR apart.
Yet leaders from main establishment had more years to rule Pakistan but failed miserably in many ways which to this day are still undoing the mistakes made by predecessor.
As for PTI, PTI still houses political leaders that were once opposed Kaala baag dam. And that is official narrative. It comes to the point now that Basha dam is proving costly and impossible to finish the project on time. And those who oppose Basha dam are none other than PPP and ANP. It is same PPP that PTI collaborated with not long ago to keep PMLN out.
If people supported PMLN's project, Kaala baag dam, in 90s, then there would be no need for Basha dam. Kaala baag dam is more useful than Basha dam which to this day still trail. Whereas for Kaala baag dam, not only it would have been finished by now but also eradicated energy and water crisis. Also, would have prevented floods after floods that claimed the lives by thousands. Does that still sound conspiracy theory to you, Mr Imranist-ar-d?
Pakistani people are confused souls, and among them those who support PTI have tendency to think that human development is more important then infrastructural progress ( Hassan Nisar's brainfart ). Someone should tell these poor souls that Pakistan need at least 15 billion dollars of infrastructural investment annually if they wanna compete in this modern era, but because somehow such development is associated with the sharif family, politically brainwashed children heavily criticized, defamed, mocked on such projects without even having an idea about it...!! Imagine a situation without motorways today in Pakistan, absolute chaotic. Just ask them why the idea of laying railway line across North America popped up into the mind Uncle Sam 150 years ago despite all the lawlessness and poverty. Answer would be empty looks only...
