Abdullah Gul, the former President of Turkey, during his last visit lamented the fact that despite having overseas experts in all fields, Pakistan has not been able to turn around. In Turkey he said, they had identified areas which needed guidance from overseas experts. He wrote to Professor Ernest Rutherford, one of the top physicists of the world, seeking his help in identifying local experts. Unless the Allamas and the Honchos who have been running the show for the last 40 years are shown the door, or given clear instructions to follow the professional directives given by the invited overseas experts, meaningful progress will not be possible. The PM is right, Overseas Experts are needed to move the country forward but they have to lead, not submit to the entrenched mafia of the status quo.
