Naqvi urges 'all political parties' to settle issue of more provinces, says current 'system' has collapsed

[Pakistanithinktank]

This bastard who have no mandate and cannot win even council election is talking about more admin units that will fix the system?

Punjab have proven the biggest province is best managed! The more units will not fix the issue, though local govt need to be empowered. And perhaps Balochistan need to be divided between pashtuns and baloch.

Nothing will fix the current mess, not even dividing Pakistan into a hundred provinces.
The problem isn’t administrative boundaries; it’s a mindset frozen in the 1990s.

I’d like to sit down with General Asim Munir and share a concept for a hybrid governance model, one that’s genuinely win‑win for the establishment.

It's a hybrid system designed after studying multiple economics & government models including, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Estonia, UAE, Saudi Arabia.

Region	Example countries	What they actually did (in practice)
Africa	Rwanda, Botswana, Seychelles	Cut waste, tightened governance, criminalized corruption
Asia	Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia	Opened economies, disciplined budgets, attacked petty graft
Governance	Estonia, Singapore, UAE	Digitized the state, reduced discretion, made corruption hard

Establishment can maintain strategic oversight while empowering a strong local system capable of sustaining the shadow economy and driving real growth. While politicians only talk about promises without delivering anything and so call economist have failed, I can give him something that will really change the system and mindset.

The goal is to move away from Pakistan’s fragile three‑pronged economy built on tax collection, remittances, and petroleum levies toward a multi‑pronged structure that supports diversified, sustainable expansion.

With the right framework, exports could reach $60 - 70 billion dollars within 15 years, creating balanced, long‑term growth and sharply reducing the trade deficit.

Ahsan Iqbal would love this write up.

Just need to add a few numeronyms like 4E's, 6D's, 3C's....and professor would gobble this up.

"Ek SHO ki maar" fella is wrong again, he should read OP's threads to know how Pakistan is thriving

Doesn't this come under article 6. Speaking against the system is speaking against Pakistan, its showing symphathy towards who hate Pakistan and do not recognise its system. To say Pakistan system has collapsed means Pakistan has collapsed, just what TTP and others want..

Bhai, Pakistan isn’t just “struggling.” It’s trapped between a rock and a hard place, and the rock is getting heavier every month.

China is frustrated.
UAE is openly distancing itself.
And the United States, as always, will not bail Pakistan out.

The economy isn’t “weak.” It’s on a ventilator, surviving on borrowed oxygen from IMF tranches, rollovers, and emergency loans. Pakistan is dangerously close to a point where even restructuring won’t be enough the kind of situation where countries quietly prepare for sovereign default.

This isn’t drama. It’s math.

• Debt-to-GDP is unsustainable.
• Interest payments consume most of the budget.
• Exports are stagnant.
• Imports are essential and expensive.
• Currency depreciation is constant.
• Investment is near zero.
• Productivity is collapsing.
• The tax base is microscopic.
• The informal economy is bigger than the formal one.

Pakistan is running a 21st‑century population with a 1990s economic model, and the world has moved on.

The truth is simple:

No administrative change, not 10 provinces, not 100 provinces will fix anything unless the mindset changes first.

Until Pakistan adopts a modern economic system like the ones working in Asia and Africa, systems that cut government waste, enforce anti‑corruption, digitize governance, and build real export engines, the country will continue sinking.

Pakistan doesn’t need cosmetic reforms.

It needs a complete economic reboot.

Height of incompetence. They want to create more provinces but cannot create proper names for them.

They are stuck in 90s mindset. Pakistan only needs 34 Special Economic Zones (SEZs), No provinces, very lean federal government, and very strong local government.
The governance layer becomes lean and performance‑driven:

• 102 MNAs, (3 from each Economic Zone) focused on national legislation and oversight
• 34 Governors (act as senator), each responsible for a single Economic Zone
• No provincial middle layer, no duplicated ministries, no political bottlenecks

Another gem from the same event.

Ab yeh duffer mausoof kaun hain jin ko hath main seats chahiay hain? And then we wonder why we are stuck in this mess. BTW, where is that APTMA charlatan these days?

These type of statements will lead to the rise of Pakistan cockroach movement or Kachwa movement. The rulers need to keep their tongue under control.

He's just a speaker, the voice is someone else's.

And the intended audience was the two guys who are doing noora kushti in AJK at the behest of this lot.

If that's the only criticism you have feel free to change the names.

lols.. that is your take !

I meant that, unlike Redcliff, drawing lines on maps, they should do homework. Like which major city is there and how that region can utilise its resources, people, geography, etc. So that they can create their own economy and won't seek Federal budgets and subsidies.

Like the CM of Deras (IK and GK) will be a lackey of the Islamabad or Lahore area province as it has no economy to rule. The police and bureaucracy cannot function, and then the army will be called.

The govt is non-serious as it has been and is just proposing irrationally. Did they explain how they are splitting and
