This is with reference to the above program telecast daily after Khabarnama by PTV. The title of the program is precisely what is wrong with the agriculture sector. This is precisely why the country imports wheat, sugar, potatoes, etc. This is precisely why the nation is bogged down in an economic quagmire.

The feudals of Pakistan manage to produce just enough for them and their kith and kin. They are, unfortunately, contented with a seat in the Parliament, a Landcruiser, a private jail, usurpation of land, planned illiteracy, and abashed patronage of the patwari, the WAPDA Exen, and the local irrigation officer. If only they would adopt the slogan "Apna Ughao, Khud Khao Duniya Ko Khilao", Pakistan would leapfrog into the ranks of the Asian Tigers. Alas, the feudals only listen to themselves !
