You aren't Pakistani enough to vote, but you are Pakistani enough to donate for the Floods

[Bewal Express]

The hypocritical losers want overseas PKs to donate generously to our fellow citizens but have stripped us of right to vote because we wont vote they want and hence arent PK enough.
Also Shouldn't they be asking the ones that own Avenfield and Rockingham to sell those and send the money back. Maybe get Billo to stop wasting billions on overseas trips

"The entire nation, especially overseas Pakistanis, should donate generously to help the flood victims as a huge amount of money will be required for the rehabilitation of the victims due to the large-scale disaster," she said


IA I will donate to a respectable charity like Edhi or when Kaptaan sets up a fund but anything to these guys will end up back here

Shouldn't your humanity compel you to donate?.

Well, looks like your humanity is dependent on your political views.

I know my view will be super unpopular but overseas people should not be allowed to vote, elections have a significantly lower effect on their lives than those who live there, as such a vote of equivalence is unfair IMO.

however I would go much further and say dual citizenship, and the subsequent brain drain and reliance on remittances it has created has done more harm to Pakistan than good over the last 40 odd years.

While they ask for donations the govt is on holiday. This is the speaker on a jaunt.

I think we make a common mistake and think of overseas Pakistanis as those who are living in US/Canada/UK. However, a majority of overseas Pakistanis actually live in the Middle East and they are hugely impacted by elections as most of their direct family (who they have to feed) lives in Pakistan. This actually applies to many people in the west and Europe as well.

I would agree that maybe people with dual citizenship should not be allowed to vote but then there are many people living in Pakistan with dual citizenship so I don’t know how that would work.
