Why the hell did Nawaz League government give a parting gift of blue passport to serving as well as retired parliamentarians which is a symbol of VVIP status?By doing so didn’t it go back on its promise that it would finish the VVIP culture on coming to power?Why the heck did it increase various types of financial allowances of parliamentarians when the state bank was crying itself hoarse that the country is on the brink of bankcruptcy ?A government which is so indifferent to the plight of labourers that it has fixed a liducrously low monthly wage of a labourer has no right, whatever, to increase allowances of its parliamentarians when they are already so comfortably placed when it comes to their pay and allowances. What should be sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander too.
The country’s economy is in a shambles. Instead of addressing the issue seriously the government has found an easy way out by either getting foreign loans or through the introduction of tax amnesty schemes which tantamount to putting premium on corruption by whitening the black money. Inside the country there are thousands of persons who own big landed property, whose children study in the costliest educational institutions, both inside and outside the country, who visit abroad at the drop of a hat. Their expenditure stands documented . A fair amount of taxes could easily be recovered from them but the governments didn’t touch them during the past three decades or so because they belonged to the economic class to which the rulers of this country belonged.
