How many Metros do we need to achieve that goal?
When people chose Kulsoom Nawaz (w/o ineligible and Ex-3 time PM) over a qualified Gynecologist, you have your answer
But we need metro and donkeys. Who cares about literacy rate? Patwaaris… :P
Alhamdulillah (الحمد لله) metros are the future.
Miaaaa saaaab jaan deyo..
In order to give them a fair deal without bias, infrastructure is definitely important.
But education sector should take priority above all else. Roads, motorways they ll be built. But to train whole new future generation of ours for the upcoming trends and problems, we actually have to work harder in this ‘department’.
But to be honest, this is a double edged sword for our so called politicians. Paving the path for a literate youth can actually hurt them in the long term because an open mind will think twice before voting the same person again if they haven’t done anything in the past for the good of the people.
They could (our youth), God forbid, raise their voices for the discrepancies in our democracy system and ah well, against corruption. Sarcasm intended.
No need of Additional Center but Need of best managment to run existing center in proper way and all center must be functional.
