So what comes to people’s mind when they hear Pakistan’s name? Many Britons and British-Pakistanis had differing opinions about Pakistan – rife with terrorism, poverty-stricken, a country with immense potential, a misunderstood nation – the list goes on…
But when these people spoke up for Pakistan, they had a different story to tell. A video released by the United Kingdom Foreign Office, “Speaking up for Pakistan: What would you say?” features what different people have to say about Pakistan.
While many of them believed that Pakistan is a wealthy nation in terms of talent and natural resources, they hold the opinion that it is a poorly managed country which is in the hands of a few dishonest politicians and that it is surprising to see Pakistan in the state that it is right now.
Most British-Pakistanis were of the opinion that stereotyping against Pakistan must be stopped, while one of them also proclaimed that 98% of the Pakistani population is not of an extremist mindset.
The general afterthought remained that people wanted cleaner politics, thriving economy and better education and living standards in Pakistan.
Video rating: Thumbs up for gathering the thoughts of the British-Pakistani diaspora.

Country is never think beyond The Line and never will do for next so many years this is fact for country
I think the solutions are as obvious as the problems. There are examples all around if the Pakistani nation were serious.
There is nothing new in it. Everyone knows what's the problem. Rather discussing problems give solutions !
