'Pakistan is a country breathing with the help of a ventilator. It is a country whose limbs have been crippled and sitting on a wheel chair pretending that it can move from one place to another. It is crippled economically-lack of funds to survive; crippled militarily - military cann''t fight with India which has been admitted by Imran Khan; crippled diplimatically because no country is willing to listen to its grievances except some providing a lip service; and crippled administratively - lack of cohesion among various political parties. Also, needless to say crippled academically - they cann''t figure it out how to make their country prosperous, and seeking economic advice from the military personnel whose job is to protect the country not to run the economy of a country. What a sad state of affair? I do not think Pakistan has any magic wand to find a solution to all these problems. The only way which is now a long way to find a solution is to separate military from the civilian government. Let it be known to the international community that Pakistan as a country has a military and not the other way around. Most of the Pakistani budget is allocated to the well-being of a military establishment at the cost of poor education, poor health, poor nutrition of rest of the population. Is Pakistan ready to admit it?'
