Dr. Latif keeps an eye on the issues his fellow Pakistani brothers and sisters suffer. He is a dedicated Pakistani and feels the pain of every countryman when he sees him or her not employed or not enjoying the very basic necessities those are taken for granted by millions around the world.
Dr. Latif is from middle class and is not a politician.
He is also a small business owner and believes Pakistan needs to be run like a business for it to excel. Public be its customers and public services be the products delivered to masses!
Dr. Latif believes that in Pakistan everything has been politicized. Instead of concentrating on personal and party politics, leaders must give 100% to public service.
Public service is what democracy is all about. But unfortunately public service has taken a secondary position in Pakistan.
This is why he has proposed a political government structure that has no overlapping and bring the government to the very level where it is supposed to deliver services; the people.
With this proposed structure masses will benefit and not the politicians.
Dr. Latif strongly believes a Pakistani residing in Kalat, Layyah, Sibhi, Larkana, Banu, Badeen, Rahim Yar Khan etc. is an equal Pakistani to the one who lives in Lahore. With his proposed structure every Pakistani will get equal social service and Pakistan will develop uniformly.
Dr. Latif still holds Pakistani passport only because he believes in Brand Pakistan.
He is a simple at heart person who does everything possible in his capacity to help under privileged.
He has a dream that one day every Pakistani is so free that his conscience is under his full control, thence he or she will not do anything that is wrong for his country or his countrymen.
Dr. Latif wants to do his utmost to bring the change our country needs so badly that Pakistan instead of going down, rises as a recognized economic, political and social power.
