"Prime Minister Imran Khan is a fascist and he has all the characteristics of Hitler. He destroyed the country’s economy, no businessman is ready to invest and flight of capital is being witnessed," Mr Sharif told the news hounds...

Actually, the economy of Pakistan has been growing at a bit above the average world rate. Of course this is partly because the existing base is so low (about the 150th highest GDP). If Pakistan would demilitarize and reduce the funding of the Interservice Intel (ISI) it would help the economy a lot and if it would cease subsidizing the Madrassa infrastructure it would also help. Pakistan has benefited from contract manufacturing and will continue to do so unless they really mess up.

#2 It's usually the progress oriented, rational and disciplinarian leaders that are called 'Hitlers' nowadays. If you're called fascist or nazi or populist by someone like Shahbaz Sharif , chances are you're doing something right.

Yes, but dear Imran Khan isn’t one of those. He’s a pretty (ok, was once pretty) former sports idol who spent lots of money becoming a political failure. That he is now prime minister over there only proves that Pakistan really is an intrusion into our universe of Bizarro World.

#4 I meant it doesn't get any better than him over there. Oxford educated, suave and a celebrity who also managed to befriend the taliban and the generals.

The last decent PM they had was Madam Bhutto, who they killed.

#5 Pakistan, as a state itself shouldn't exist. It has no right to. It's just four provinces and some foreign territory that have been forcefully occupied by zealots and the contract to run it given to profiteers.
