Let's start with poultry business and take a quick look,
1.
First you have to purchase a land in a town and there would be a group of people in that town who used to sue new buyers to blackmail ,

and earn easy money.
They will file a suit and gradually withdraw it when you pay them some money. Believe me they would've ties with the local political personality.

Now you want to transfer that land in your name. For this purpose you went to land revenue office and you will face a mafia of Government employees and their touts.

3. Now you have to made a shed and you try to tender for the construction.
You will face the construction mafia which will force you to construct your shed with their rates.
It's a fact that every construction firm is backed by a political party.

4. Now you have to purchase the chicks and there again you will face other mafia which will provide the chicks on his own rates.
One company or another main supplier will be a solo person belonging to a political party.

5. You will buy feed for these chicks and there you will face feed Mafia which will give you feed with their own terms and conditions.
You will have no second option of buying from any other company in Pakistan only Pml-n or PPP company.

I said PML-N or PPP because from property to poultry they have hold in every business.
They own factories mills and industries.
These parties are real mafias and its painful to say but everybody have to to live under their hands in Pakistan.
