My Vision
Having lived 12 years of my life
outside Pakistan and having had the opportunity to study at two of the
finest universities in the world, I realize that far too many of us in
Pakistan lack the things citizens of other countries take for granted.
Many of my fellow citizens don’t have access to opportunities to better
themselves economically; they can’t live healthy lives in peace and
security, or get a decent education. There exists a chasm between the
hope and opportunity I have so often seen outside Pakistan and the
troubles and despondency I have seen within it. I see public service as a
way to use my abilities, the privileges that I have, and the
opportunities that have come my way, to help change the future of my
country. To make Pakistan a country where every child has the right to
live a healthy and carefree life, and the opportunity to grow up and
become a citizen who has something to give back to society.
Public
service is not an end in itself rather it is path towards the above
destination. The day I sense I am no longer progressing towards this
goal will be the day I leave the political arena. Until then I will
serve Pakistan as best as I can.
