Lol, Because US dollars were coming,
Money from Saudi and Arabs also coming..
Musharraf days were best among all.
Computer, Media, Telecommunication and Economy was good.
But same US BUSH gave 4 Billion dollars.
If I could blame 3 leaders who destroyed Pakistan by far the most and caused most losses economically in all sectors these would be
1. Yahya Khan- literqlly split the country. Worked with Bhutto to kill thousands and split East pakistan which was a large economic manufacterer + exporter. Almost overnight we lost more than half our population and 40% of our economy. Geopolitically never recovered
2. ZA Bhutto- Split the country along with Yahya khan. Refused to accept election results due to his own ego. Nationalized all remaining private industries in west pakistan. All the rich/educated remaining started to leave the country. Pakistan private sector never recovered economically with all billionaires/large industries destroyed.
3. Nawaz Sharif- in economic damage he has caused the most loss since the 90s. Even PPP under benazir/zardari managed economic policy better than these imbeciles. The damaged caused by the dollarization of pakistans economy, increasing imports, decreasing exports, billions in loans taken to be spent on failing projects. Corruption imbeded into society. And in the end Islamism used to cover up for failures are halmarks of NS.
So now if you wanna compare Zia to other leaders of pakistan who is failure vs ok vs success when compared to others. The facts are pretty obvious. These 3 leaders in each of their individual capacities hurt pak far more than Zia ever did
