These businesses are all running and turning the economy.

can you say the same about all the other businesses which are only only feeding the feudal ?

You should be thankful that there are still businesses which do not squeeze last drop of blood from the ordinary citizen. (reference PSO, SNGPL, SSGC, Ittefaq , Sitara, Fatima and lastly the sugar mills).

NLC has the biggest economic scam in pakistan history but you know generals are a "sacred cow" specie in pakistan so no one can point the finger
fauzi fertilizers and askari cement had been doled and bailed out twice by pakistan government under our tax money
way to run the business!!!!

NLC introduced the concept of using containers and is the largest transportation company in Pakistan, it produces a profit every year. Same goes for Fauji Fertilizer, it has constantly been in the top 25 performing companies on KSE. Although i may be wrong but you need to provide sources for your claim that Fauji Fertilizer was bailed out by the state. These organizations that you have mentioned are not run by the Army directly and are there to support job creation and welfare for civilians and retired Army personals. You are yet to post a credible argument that these companies are creating a toxic environment for the economy and the nation.

Although i cannot help but notice how nicely you side stepped the comment about businesses run by feudals and state owned organizations. PIA, Pakistan Steel Mills and Pakistan Railways are running losses that account into billions. The feudals and the politicians have awarded their businesses loans that account into billions of rupees and have never repaid them or simply wrote those loans off. While the organizations that you have mentioned in your original post are all posting healthy profits and dont need to be subsidized by the state. Your argument is extremely vague and does not make any sense my friend.
