• Did u know PMLN promised a "Special Financial Product" for Pakistani diaspora to attract investments? What that "Special Financial Product" is.
  
  
• Did you know what Tax-to-GDP ratio PMLN promised till 2018? 15% - Yes Fifteen percent. What is Tax-GDP ratio now?

You clearly don't know anything, the budget they announced last year of hundreds of billions of rupees the army forced them to eat it instead of spending it on the country. How can you even accuse them of such a thing when this party is the only one who doesn't have a leader who served under Zia. This party is the only one who didn't take money from ISI to overthrow Benazir. And this party is the only one who didn't rig elections with Kayani. Come on brother, don't be a junooni please.

5 years down the line and nothing to show except loot and plunder from these pathetic criminals, 5 years in which real progress could have been made as the oil price has remained very low. Where did the oil price dividend all go?

No government achieves its manifesto, we don’t need to look further than the champions of tabdeeli who have done squat in KP over the last five years, and are now banking on electables and people “who know the science of winning elections” (Imran Khan’s words) to succeed.

PML-N’s government in this tenure has not been allowed to settle due to the dharna politics and the involvement of the military establishment. Moreover, Nawaz was dismissed on a technically which if applied across the board impartially, would ensure that hardly anyone would be able to clear the test.

The farcical application of the Articles 62 & 63 can be observed by the fact that Sheikh Rasheed, our champion of tabdeeli, was absolved even though his case was not different to Nawaz’s.

Considering the constraints that the government has been subjected to, and the obstacles that it had to overcome, I would argue that they have done a reasonable job.

So i take that you think NS is not a crook?

He is a crook, but he is not the only one. I refuse to support a party that believes in using one crook to overcome another. I don't have a taste for double-faced politics.

I personally agree with you [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] bhai. I am not a fan of PML-N and do not support the party, but I think deep state has played a role in how this tenure has turned out.

I would also like to see similar scrutiny of figures involved in military establishment and where their assets are located.

Sadiq and Ameen clause is farcical and there is no way these terms should be part of law making process, let alone used to dismiss country's premier.

We need to let our democracy blossom and not allow extra political forces clip it by the wings. I know Nawaz 's history and the fact that he was birthed by Zia does trouble me. But one cannot deny he really enjoys a lot of support especially in Central Punjabi cities.

Your avatar caught my eye... I was just at AWP's gathering in E7 the other day. Wonder if you're someone I know.

I think you want us to care, but we dont. You should be glad that at least they have one crook, hopefully SS, AZ and any others are hanged.

So the Panama revelations are the work of the ISI. Are the Sharifs not corrupt? Is AZ not corrupt? Who made signed the NRO with the generals?

PMLN had no say in the control of global oil prices. In my view, PMLN were very lucky with CPEC, declining oil prices and Army operation to eradicate terrorism and instil peace across the country. With all these mentioned factors, PMLN were still not able to meet their manifesto promises then this just highlights how poor and incapable they were during this tenure.

Let me bring forward couple of key points from the report.

1. Education and health: PMLN in their manifesto mentioned to contribute 4% and 2% of annual GDP into education and health respectively each year. Result: An average of 2% and 0.9% were contributed each year into education and health respectively.

Now this criteria shows their real intention. The main issue of Pakistan is education and health and not having metro trains! This is a real failure of this Government which was unable to invest in its own people.

2. Fiscal Deficit: PMLN in their manifesto mentioned to eliminate VIP culture and launch an austerity drive. Expenses related to the presidency, prime minister, governors and chief ministers will be significantly reduced. Result: Contrary to the promises, the budget for the Prime Minister’s Office went up consistently. In fact, the budget each year had to be revised and increased.

The above are some extracts of their promises not delivered, I would highly recommend to read through the report as it outlines key failures of the Government.

One thing not mentioned in the report is the water crisis that has engulfed the nation currently. I'm not sure how much of the budget is allocated in meeting requirements for sustainable environment and what are the developments carried during their tenure to ensure safe drinking tap water but I won't be surprised if this is not even mentioned in their past budgets as money spent on necessities are not as glamorous or a USP like metro train.

I do agree that many governments fail to keep upto their manifesto but what is the excuse of not investing in education and healthcare? This is not something that is controlled externally its simply acting upon your promise and allocating a said budget for education and healthcare. Why even that goal hasn't been delivered? An allocation of 1% of annual GDP to healthcare is quite literally shambles.

Army stopped them from investing in education and health and forced them to do corruption and money laundering and buy the properties.

I did not state any of the above in my post. I am sure Sharif and Zardari are very corrupt. But that does not invalidate any aspect of the post I made.

"I think deep state has played a role in how this tenure has turned out", from this its clear that you believe the humiliation of the Sharifs has nothing to with theft and corruption but some sort of ISI conspiracy.
