PIA, Pakistan Steel and Pakistan Railways` losses have mounted to Rs706 billion in three years and some Rs660 billion in the power sector. This is the performance of a businessman-led government with a chartered accountant as finance minister.

I wonder what kind of losses we would have faced if the prime minister was not a businessman? The prime minister and Ishaq Dar will have several justifications for these losses and deficits. But my dilemma is to understand what the next government does.

How will we absorb these losses and how will we be able to put life into these dead horses and make them viable in the future? Amjad Habib Mirza Lahore
