Federal Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhry has told the nation not to look to the government for jobs. His announcement that 10 million new jobs would be created in the private sector has shifted the entire burden of his party’s manifesto promise to the private sector. Perhaps more importantly, why the youth would continue to obtain education, if the job market could not absorb them? Mr Chaudhry has exposed the government on a front it did not wish to engage. If those young voters are told to look towards an anaemic private sector, they may not remain loyal in the next election, which is not that far away.
