Pakistan or Leave-istan?

Quaid-e-Azam’s declaration, “No power on earth can undo Pakistan,” is a powerful statement that serves as a source of inspiration for generations. It is a reminder that Pakistan’s existence is an unalterable truth, one that withstands the ebbs and flows of history and the ever-evolving global context. This assertion underscores the resilience and permanence of the Pakistani nation, affirming that its place in the world is an incontrovertible reality, impervious to the whims of external forces. These words encapsulate the steadfast determination and unwavering resolve that have been the hallmarks of Pakistan’s journey, inspiring its people to remain steadfast in the face of adversity and to safeguard the nation’s sovereignty and integrity.

Since the inflation rate skyrocketed, youth in Pakistan have decided to “leave ” Pakistan. The emerging inflation rate is giving the proof that Pakistan will soon be known as “Leave-istan.” The ancestors of Pakistan didn’t sacrifice their lives to see it becoming “Leave-istan,” where people are leaving the country for a better future.

Pakistan went through so many struggles to become an independent state. However, this young generation needs to remember that a lot of sacrifices were done to get this country an independent recognition. Yet still, our youth is so inspired by Western culture and series like “Money”that they think in order to become rich, you have to say “Bye, Bye” to Pakistan.

The Pakistan Institute of Development Economics asserts that 62%of youth want to leave the country for a better future and salary. Now the question is, whom to blame? The government or its old traditional mindset leaders who want to owe the whole Avenfield kingdom? I bet there are some people in Pakistan who aren’t aware of the fact that where their taxes go? The government is not to blame for this lack of knowledge, but people of Pakistan.

Bill Gates says that ” if you are born poor, it’s not your mistake, but if you die poor, it’s your mistake.” I’m pretty sure the holders of “Avenfield kingdom” have learnt a lot from Bill Gates that soon it will appear on the news that “sharifs have superseded the wealth of Amambanis successfully”. I think every leader is in this race , but only a few leaders know the strategy. May be this is reason the rich is becoming richer and poor is becoming poor. These political leaders are also giving the crystal clear image of “what is Marxism”?
Karl Marx is no doubt dead, but Marxism is alive, and it will be until the youth of Pakistan decides for revolution. Our youth needs to remember that the future of Pakistan lies in their hands. Leaving Pakistan will not solve their issues, but making corrupted leaders leave the country can resolve the conundrums.
