One thing you guys need to understand that there is not only the influence of foreign policies or for that matter govt individuals on granting MFN status to india but there are many other factors involved as well. Like the presence of foreign companies in Pakistan may it be through FDI, Non-equity arrangement or exports they know that trade with india means lost of market share for them , and for monopolies it will be a nightmare ..to avoid that they will be lobbying the govt and in some cases the govts of their countries directly do that......
Even because of such lobbying Pakistan has lost many of its local companies.... Like you can take the example of Adam cars which was a local company producing cars, trucks and SUVs but in its initial phase the huge lobbying from Japan to govt resulted into no support by govt for the local company resulting into the closure of that company ...because if it would have grown it would have been a direct competitor to Japanese companies and may have taken a chunk of market share from them due to the cost leadership factor ......
Similarly there are other examples too.... so rather then yelling here or blaming to a specific person or entity will not do a good to anyone ....try to look out for different prospects that are affecting the proposition
When in 1991 India opened up its market to foreign countries, we had few local manufacturers TVS, TATA and Mahindra and other joint manufacturers like Suzuki with Maruti India, Honda group with Hero group, Bajaj and others.
Today we have VW, Nissan, BMW, Honda, Renault, Mercedes, Hyundai and you name it. TVS, TATA and Mahindra have still survived and are competing very well with the new players. It is time protectionist mindset is replaced by a quest to search for better products to the end customer. A value proposition is all that each company should focus on. Just saying local industries can't compete indicates a sense of underestimating once own industries.

Give India MFN status already. Stupid politicians. It's a win-win situation for both countries.
Thanks for your comments. Such comments are rare on PDF.
It is not a win for some Pakistanis if India's win is involved. It is only a win if Pakistan wins and India is not involved or when Pakistan wins and India loses.
