Respected Mr. Imran Khan Sahab,

The below write up dated Mar 1, 2020; (scroll down below to 1/3/20) titled “What next for Pakistan after Afghan peace agreement?” is to invite your kind attention towards the fact that Pakistan can only move forward, if:

~ We decide as a nation to keep domestic politics freeze, for say about next 10 years: and simply focus on national development agenda, by involving the entire nation and not keeping any relevant stake holder at bay. In fact, this will put horse (development agenda) before the cart (domestic politics).

~ Involvement of entire population by authentic decentralization, without mixing any semblance of domestic politics. Our local bodies system has inherent manufacturing defect that the cart (domestic politics) is put before the horse (development). As such, keeping this objective in view, it has been proposed in the 1 March 2020 write up titled “What next for Pakistan after the Afghan peace agreement?” to wind up the current set up of provincial governance system (in a least disruptive manner) to be be replaced with a set up of an administrative units.

In view of the fact that after wasting almost three quarters of a century in doldrums, Pakistan must now make up the lost time, without any further delay, because, it is certain that no amount of wealth or resources can develop our country, without first changing the existing decadent system, which was and is, basically designed to serve the elite, at the expense of the teeming millions, turning it into a country of ONLY the rich, for the rich by the rich.

As such, our motherland needs every Pakistanis personal contribution, by way of our intellectual involvement, in bringing a genuine CHANGE of system in Pakistan, focused on the needs of the have-nots of Pakistan.
