Education

Pakistanis may be some of the smartest people on the planet but it is not because of our educational system...

Economic Growth and Opportunity

Sustained economic growth can pull millions out of poverty, allowing our citizens to realise their true potential as human beings..

Lack of access to capital for entrepreneurs

Pakistanis are some of the sharpest entrepreneurs in the world...

As a Senator for Islamabad, and as someone who has grown up in this city, a city I have lived in for thirty years, I care deeply about Islamabad and its residents. Although Islamabad is a young city, it is an integral part of our country’s

Environment and Physical Heritage

Pakistan is a country that has been blessed with a long and rich history. We have so much to be proud of, to preserve for

Healthy and Clean communities

Poverty and lack of health and hygiene often go hand in hand. We need to ensure that our children learn the importance of personal hygiene. Particularly in our urban centres it is critical that waste is properly collected, segrated and disposed off.

Elevating the standard of politics

We need politicians who are capable, honest, well intentioned, and responsive to constituents yet able to exercise independent discretion when required. This country needs Parliamentarians who have real world experience from a variety of backgrounds.

Private sector job creation

Too many Pakistanis look to the Government to provide jobs. The Private sector has to be the engine of job creation. The role of the Government should be that of an enabler and facillitator.

Corruption

Corruption diverts resources from those that are rightfully entitled to them to those that have no right. But at an even more fundamental level corruption destroys private initative and hope. Because corruption destroys the link between effort, initiative and reward it leads to disilllusionment, despair and hopelessness. Those who feel they have no hope then resort to extremism and measures to overthrow what they rightfully perceive to be an unjust system.

An Islamic State

I am not a religious scholar, but my view of an Islamic State is one one where mercy, tolerance forbearance, truth and justice prevail. Where there is equal opportunity for all, protection of the poor and needy. Where thinking, reading and learning is emphasized. A state where non-Muslims feel at home, and where the values and teachings of other faiths are respected. It is sad that many of the countries where Islamic values are found in every day life are the countries of the Western world or East Asia, countries that are nominally non-Muslim.

Constitutionalism and the Rule of Law

The establishment of the rule of law is essential for our progress as a nation. The Law and the Constitution must be a check on arbitrary authority. Pakistan is today witnessing a struggle for supremacy between the executive and the judicial branches of the state. I am hopeful that in time, we will find a balance.

Conflict of interest

Each and every Pakistani needs to be able to make the distinction between his or her private interest and the public interest...

Better Governance

A better system of governance that translates to a more customer centric approach in all government departments. This means that access to justice and common tasks such as license or passport issuance or renewal, getting an electric connection etc would be hassle-free, predictable, efficient and free from corruption.
