Uplifting the poor

It is noble and inspiring for Pakistan to speak of the ideals of the state of Medina and to champion the cause of the people of Kashmir. However, these goals can only be realised by a modern, progressive, peaceful, tolerant and prosperous state. A state with a foreign debt of $115 billion, with 220 million mouths to feed, and a fragile capacity to enforce its writ within its own borders should first focus on ‘putting its own house in order’. This reality cannot be altered by clichés and ‘lip service’ nor can it be replaced by wishes.
