“If anything needs to be changed its not Pakistan but the mindsets of Pakistanis. We need to love more, hate less. We need to accept each other’s success & celebrate it.
“Every country has flaws. We need to talk about the great things and let the world know what Pakistan truly is. We need to respect our country for the world to see it from our eyes. Together, we should work for its prosperity and not point fingers at each other or the country. Live and let live. May God bless this country and everyone who belongs here!”

Ahmed Ali Butt
“I will not change anything about my country but I will change everything about its people. Pakistan is great and we are lucky to be born with freedom but sadly we take it for granted. We have stopped believing in honour and respect, honesty and hard work. We always think of our personal interests instead of national.
“The greatest example of this is Pakistan being ruled by criminals. We have brought this country to its knees. But I still believe this is the greatest country in the world and InshaAllah one day it will be where it’s supposed to be. Pakistan Zindabad.”

“I would definitely like to change the way our women are being treated. We are also free souls not slaves.”

“I would like to change the image of Pakistan.Our country does have its set of issues but which country doesn’t? The difference between us and others is that, they highlight their positive side which brings them a good name. We should follow suit.
“Pakistan has everything, talent and resources. We just need to highlight them more to the world.”

“I would definitely ban 5,000 words on social media as I believe it should be very restricted. There shouldn’t be hatred and negativity. Anyone who talks against Pakistan should be arrested and jailed for at least a month.”
