An open letter to Mr. Ahsan Iqbal..!
My dear Ahsan Iqbal Sahab,
AoA.
There is no need for rejoicing on the improvement of Moodi’s credit rating for Pakistan.
Reason being that PMLN’s government is in its 14 month of the 60 month tenure; and the general public is absolutely devoid of any trickle down affects of the government policies.
Just look at the fact that exactly the same electricity was being generated during the last PPP era.
The difference now being we are forced to pay the double for not only the electricity bills, but for the gas and petrol bills, as well.
So, in fact, PMLN’s government rather than giving anything to the public, has snatched whatever was left with, at the end of the PPP government.
As such, please stop blowing the IMF, World Bank and Moodi’s trumpet and have an honest dissection of your government’s economic policies, which is based on the foundations of:
Loans.
Increasing utilities rates.
Enhancing POL rates.
Punishing the honest citizens who accurately pays bills and taxes by increasing the bills and taxes amounts.
Rewarding the tax and utility bill thieves, who who can easily evade these payments, with their might and influence.
Doubling the car token tax in Punjab, may be to punish your voters for the mistake of voting to PMLN to power again in the province.
Not implementing any austerity drive, which is evident from the purchases of luxury cars and dogs and favouring people like Baber Ayaz with appointment at CAA at Rs.60/- Lacs per annum salary + perks.
Sir, it looks that this government is even more cruel and callous, when it comes to lavish spendings of the tax payers money.
Kindly, correct me where I was wrong mentioning the facts about the lavish spendings of the national wealth, during the current government’s 14 month era and also to be noted that no effort has been made to recover the looted national wealth stashed abroad, as per most loud claims made during the election rallies.
Under the circumstances, kindly advise us what difference is there to compare this government with ANY previous government of Pakistan?
