Like already mentioned education is the foremost, and bringing honest non-corrupt leaders forefront.
For Karachi situation I agree with Imran Khan, de-politicizing the police and de-weponization of Karachi and Pakistan as a whole. Also by making a plan and acting on stabilizing the areas of Karachi. Increasing security by monitoring with CCTVs, satellite navigation, or other advance security devices.
Increasing employment in those communities will bring out positivity in those areas.
For Waziristan and KP-K, stopping the war and the innocent killings, make someone accountable.
Putting the corrupt leaders on trial and collecting the tax money, like Imran Khan said. Support him or don’t thats up to you, but he says all the right things and he seems like he would deliver, like he did for the World cup.
My Rehman Maliks statement today is stark contrast of whats happening in Karachi that it seems he is not living in Pakistan – and enjoying a sunny beach in his fantasy bubble.
Sincere leadership FIRST and FOREMOST
Else, every plan will flop
Wipe out the corrupt, from top to bottom. PERIOD.

Better education with equal standards for all stands at the top while a deliberate check & balance organism taking full care of executive, judiciary and other stake holders especially the electoin commission.
Elect four biggest party leader by consesus by officers BPS 17 and above. Each leader has to present his key ministries cadidates and their portfolios to these people. Monitor each party leader for any rigging.
Good Leadership, Good Pakistan

Education should be the 1st priority & only educated people should be allowed to cast vote, it is useless to allow casting votes to the uneducated people who don’t understand the betterment of the country & they are bringing forward corrupt politicians.
two Es are the solution i.e education and employment,solution to almost every problem we are facing now.
1. Education
2. Eliminate religious extremism and corruption and use media to achieve that.
Marco economics teaches us exactly how to solve problems of developing countries like Pakistan. The Govt needs to promote small scale businesses that would give employment to many. Promoting would include primarily low interest loans like SriLanka did some few years ago. Employment automatically means better life standards, better education for the next generation and a decrease in crime. Education alone can not solve issues in Pakistan as the children do not see a future after education due to lack of employment opportunities plus their parents can not afford education due to the same low income employment or lack of employment issues.
An increase in the rate of employment might lead to inflation but Pakistan is already suffering with it because of high Govt taxes, may that be sales tax or income tax, so that should not be a problem.
Long Live Pakistan-InshaAllah.
Undermine the terrorist organization . Crack down against extremism

Changing laws don’t help, its all about implementing the laws.
We only need to make the Judicial system quick and clean
1) Education
2) Education
3) Education
u r right
1) Put those people in power who want to change the country.
2) Making policies, improving education, sanitation, health care, financial markets…all this is irrelevant if the leadership is corrupt and it does not want the country to progress.
3) Have Visionary and Sincere leadership- Primary, other things will follow automatically.
We all need a change in our attitude. We should not vote for the personalities rather for the principles and the vision.

Give back rule to pervez Musharraf, he and people like him are the real assets of the country with broad vision, leadership and administration. elect Imran Khan as Prime minister, give first priority to education in villages, don’t vote for corrupt politician, produce harmony in between sects, give employment to young ones, crush religious terrorist organizations, enhance relations with China.
Lest we forget, Musharraf gave us NRO, the current government and the mess that ensued.
Good advice except for the world religious terrorist organization. A terrorist organization cannot be religious; they are terrorists camouflaged as holy men. Other religion peoples never call their killers a Christian or Hindu terrorist so why should a Muslim brand a misguided Muslim killer as Muslim terrorist.
Very well said. Strongly agreed!
Work with India in right direction.
keep aside the major roadblocks as KAshmir etc.
Improve Law and order in country

1)Free Primary Education

1.) Adopt Secular Constitution (as envisioned by Mohammed Ali Jinnah).

3.) Build better ties with India.

Excellent line of thought. That should make a good start!
