Anti-people alliances of urban elites and selected industries are not ready to pay their share in the national development which leaves country with no option but to cut developmental expenditures and opt for a begging bowl, said Dr. Mughal.
Investment is declining in the country while overall climate is far from satisfactory due to mishandling of many issues including war on terror.
Gravity of the situation has reached to an extent where private firms are approaching politicians to save their investments while some have conducted press conferences, he said adding that we have had enough of politics, its time leaders should also think about economy..
