Agreed, whether it is lahore, sialkot, faisalabad, karachi etc. most of their wealth comes from private entities who stepped up, govt support came way later. people of sialkot didnt rely on govt for a dry port or even an airport, they did it themselves.But Punjabi knows how to be industrious and help themselves instead of crying eternally and going kaboom.
For example just one city of Punjab , Sialkot earned 2 billion USD export revenue in 2015 which was 10% of Pakistani total export revenue that year and more than the entire Balochistan's revenue in all shapes and forms.
on the other hand i know businessmen who went to invest in gwadar (supposedly under military protection and chinese investment and what not), there too they were forced to hire 100s of unskilled lazy labour by a local sardar. most of them packed up and came back because of that. they couldnt afford to pay the people of sardar as well actual labour side by side. and then there was the matter of killing of punjabi doctors and teachers. who would invest in such a place if locals themselves wont take the lead?
billions of rupees are given to their govt, they do nothing. billions is paid to sardars for keeping peace, they do nothing. doctors and teachers from other parts of the country come in, they are labelled usurpers and murdered. btw, health and education are provincial matters after 18th amendment.Give people of Balochistan the constitutional rights, build school and universities, educate the children, females. Provide similar health facilities, infrastructure as other part of the country. Terrorism will die in Balochistan in no time.
