According
to Masood Khan, "These developments have not come to India in a day or
by luck. In India too, situations similar to Pakistan exist like dirty
politics, corruption, arrogant officials, poor infrastructure, etc.,
but still India keeps growing every day and nobody can deny the fact.
This happens because the Indian people are not just merely looking at
the dirty problems around them but see the star of confidence in the
sky, the growth opportunity and working for it with self-motivation
being their target for progress." |
