Oh Boy...
Now we are officially the nation of cry babies.. :-#
And there is reason for it.
Actually, the governments are to be blamed for certain things, and so are the people. Why are the people so concerned with having it all, even if your Country CAN NOT afford to Import. The economy has been in such a mess due to No Control on Imports.
Last time when I was in Pakistan, in 2005, I noticed simple items like toothpaste being imported. What the hell, do the people in Pakistan not Know, are they NOT intelligent enough to make toothpaste themselves???
In a Pakistani newspaper report some years ago I read, that Pakistanis imported 1 Billion dollar worth of make up items, now the ladies are not far behind in ruining the country too. I wouldn't be surprise if these Make Up/toiletrees Items are for the use of Men of Pakistan too. Put your make up on , and sit home with the ladies and keep nagging.

So, in a way, its good that the gov't has finally taken some action to discourage people from buying Imports. They should jail the Importers, they are damaging the economy, or whatever is left of it.
No country can survive on just imports alone. Do we want to be like Afghanistan, which is surving on international aid and everything has to imported on foreign aid basis due to war, well now, there is practically no difference between Afghanistan and Pakistan, they both look the same in International Media reports. Afghanistan has a reason not to have an Industry of its own, they Have been in a freaking War, most of their existence anyway, WHAT is OUR excuse.
Government is also to blame. The last government Screwed the economy on purpose, before leaving, so the next government would be in a deeper mess. The Pervez Team, also started to shift the dollars out, there are un-accounted for funds, that U.S. gave in Aid, that went into pockets of Pervez and the Team. Poor People suffer as usual.
Make the country better, if you can't then leave and go abroad.
If you don't have a choice to go abroad, then work hard, and atleast try to make things better, and last, stop being a cry baby people, Be MEN, not cry babies.
Allah help us all, Ameen.
