Aid: A Curse

What a beautiful phrase the PM has used…Aid has been a curse for Pakistan. I am reminded of a book by TV Paul in which he said that the Arab World is suffering from Resource Curse and Pakistan is suffering from Strategic Curse. By saying so he implied that Arab World is blessed with so much natural resources through which they get easy money and they lack motivation to work hard. So the resources which should have been a blessing have turned out to be a curse. In case of Pakistan, it is blessed with splendid strategic location due to which Pakistan gets easy money and Pakistan lacks motivation to work hard. Here too a blessing has been converted into a curse. We are now blessed with a leader who realises this. Let’s stop craving for aid. Let’s work hard and exploit the blessing of splendid strategic location. Let’s convert this curse into a blessing. Pakistan Zindabad.
