People draw wrong parallels here. If you want to compare, compare Ahsan Iqbal with Murad Saeed, compare Hina Rabbani with Shah Mehmood. Sania Nishter was given the portfolio of PTIB first and she replaced Dr. Umar Saif. If you want to compare, Compare Sania with Dr. Umar (whom I clearly don’t like). Even Mr. Miftah Ismail is a very seasoned Economist. Read him and listen to him beyond the myopic vision. Much better than the likes of Asad Umer. No issues that’s why there are advisors who guide ministers about it.
Ph.D. in economics doesn’t equate to a multi-discipline grip over other matters. Better to acknowledge your limited understanding of the matter than claiming to be a master of the subject. He has particularly answered the question on web3.0, not on digital or cryptocurrency. Listen again. And in the last, he set out the policy guidelines that govt would not interfere in its development. This is how tech has evolved over the years. Plus, even IT experts are not agreed on one definition of such rapidly evolving fields. But yes, it’s Pakistan and you can claim to know this stuff & bash your minister after trading in Doge coins & Shiba.
