Overseas Pakistanis remit $18 billion in first eleven months of FY18

[Indus Pakistan]

That is $18 billion reasons to not give ex-pats right to vote. Wonder how much money [profit] all the so called industry makes in Pakistan? I bet it is less then this figure. Give extra votes though to loyal citizens like employees of PIA who cost the nation losses every year. And give even extra votes to the Zardari's, Nawaz's of the country who help in sending $ billions abroad.

Way to go !

Bahi it is MUCH MORE
But yeah, overseas Pakistanis MUST be given the right to vote. The PMLN and PPP deliberately never let it happen in last 7 8 years as they knew most of those votes will go to PTI. Now there are talks that ex-pats will be able to vote in by-elections. Lets see. I am hopeful that current gov. will make sure that this is sorted and next general elections will see the overseas Pakistanis participating in some way.

What's the point in begging 1-2 billions $ than?
Principally Pakistan state need to focus on expats., and build good relations with states who host most of Pakistani expats.
