[KN-1]

Pakistan lost the 65 year edge of high per capita due to terrorism, deadly earth-quack and floods of 2010.. 2007 to 2015 was worst part of Pakistan's history.

now situations is under control, terrorism is decreasing but political turmoil and 5.3% growth is not good for Pakistan...

We desperately need 7+ growth rate, increasing FDI from countries other then China to push bharat back on historic position of per capita behind Pakistan..

anyways Pakistan should stop comparing itself to regional countries, our region is worst after sub saharan africa. our benchmark should be developed countries..
