ISLAMABAD : Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Asim Munir on Tuesday heaped massive praise on overseas Pakistanis calling them assets while also dismissing the idea of brain drain. He made these remarks while addressing the first overseas Pakistanis convention, where he said, “we will lift Pakistan and make it progress like it was dreamed by the founder of the nation.” The COAS further said no one would be allowed to create any obstacle in the way of country’s prosperity. Talking about the foreign Pakistanis, he said they represent Pakistan at a global stage and their emotions have been quite praiseworthy for their country. The COAS also lambasted those who believed in the concept of brain drain – meaning a major chunk of well-educated people going abroad – and said it was instead brain gain.
