  1. I agree with the views expressed in the previous comments. Khawaja Saad is a young , energetic and a hard-working individual who should be given time to improve the condition of Railways. If the Govt still requires some immediate financial return,one can think of disposing some of the precious Golf Courses given on lease and some pieces of land near the raiway stations in big cities. However one can also think of handing over some of the branch line services to the private sector provided the Railway employees do not suffer any hardship.

  2. Indeed young and energetic but was over energetic in NA 125 where if thumb impressions are verified,will see him lose his seat or be behind bars.In his case video evidence is available in abundance.
