Sir: Thousands of qualified and talented professionals and skilled workers who unable to get jobs on merit or doled out on recommendations are forced to seek immigration in USA, Canada, Europe etc to earn their livelihood or go to Gulf etc. They send part of their savings to support their families back home. These are good expatriates whose remittances contribute over 95 percent of what is sent back to Pakistan. The other expatriates are either scions of corrupts including few rotten politicians who made fortunes and benefited most from opportunities offered by this country, and having damaged this country economically through corrupt practices, have sent their families abroad and bought assets there. What is shocking is that while these bad expatriates are proud that their children no longer live here, but in countries where there is rule of law, they desire that status quo continues in Pakistan. Almost 75 percent of total remittances sent to Pakistan by good expatriates are transferred back to foreign safe havens for eventual transfer to countries where their families live. Most of bad expatriates are beneficiaries of state subsidized allotments and tax rebates or concessions and tax evasion yet they continue to hold public offices and get best jobs in state and public sector organizations while Pakistanis who hold no other nationality remain unemployed.
