Recently, during an interview with PM Gilani, the host for CNN cited a Gallup poll which stated that due to the prevailing situation in Pakistan, 33 percent of the population wanted to leave the country.
To this, Prime Minster Gilani replied abruptly, “Why don’t they leave then?” While responding to such an important and critical question, he should have responded more sensibly and wisely. Educated people are upset about being in Pakistan, owing to the lack of professional opportunities and the spike in terrorism. Pakistan is facing the worst kind of brain drain. The reasons for people leaving Pakistan and those who have not but are prepared and willing to do so are myriad. Poverty, joblessness, lawlessness and the energy crisis are a few. Business, big and small, has been badly affected.
As the chief executive of the country, Mr Gilani should answer questions thrown at him, instead of shrugging off the matter as if he does not care. There is already a strong impression abroad that Pakistan is a country with a rich government and poor people. When asked this question, PM Gilani had the perfect opportunity to show his disappointment with regards to the situation in the country and tell the people what he and his government plan to do to rectify that. Instead, he chose to dismiss it in this manner. It speaks volumes about the governance record in his tenure and his sense of responsibility.

Gillani and his PPP should be ashamed of themselves.
The Pakistani Government should be ashamed.
Why don't they? Well, because not everyone here has got a Dual-citizenship.
Not everyone here has got enough money to settle abroad, and majorly that is due to the corrupted government this country has got.
And those who can afford it, they don't want to leave their businesses, their family businesses – and end up doing a job as a sweeper at McDonalds.
Basically, Mr. PM we dont have enough to just go abroad and live a living, not like you have left us with any option here either!
This is why we just cant eff-in leave! You have done nothing for your people, and when asked, you friggin say: Why don't they! Why?
How about talk like a Prime Minister – may it be a convicted one – but just do talk like a PM!
No hope for the people who wish to return back to their motherland!!
Should be sent to the gallows…all of them!
Why doesn't he leave along with his family……. that will bring some relief definitely!
Pakistan is a great country, its peoples are also great…………….. only we required a great leader to lead Pakistan positively, in 60 years Pakistan has been weaker and weaker day by day………. by all problems,.
hmm !
Why Dont NawaZardari Leave….Who is Stopping Them?!?
