A MOST URGENT HUMANITARIAN APPEAL

Politicians disconnect with masses at their own peril

Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif
Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif
Prime Minister of Pakistan
All the leaders and partners of the coalition government of Pakistan

Respected Sirs,

AoA.

According to the media reports the National Highway Council has issued a notification exempting the parliamentarians from the toll tax payment on the motor ways.

This act of our ‘beloved’ government at a time when entire Pakistan is affected (directly or indirectly with the ravages of the worst flood in our history and when over 350 million fellow countrymen are fighting for their life to avoid death from the miseries of hunger, disease and homeless and when the whole world is moving in the direction to help Pakistan rebuild from the ashes) is like playing the fiddle, when Pakistan was sinking under the flood waters and may be construed as a classic example of elite capture with utmost callousness and insensitivity towards the teeming millions.

In this regard, it would have been much appreciated, if, our Parliament had passed a resolution for waiving off every type of loans of ALL the flood affected population and imposition of ONE time tax of Rupees one crore on every person having wealth of over one BILLION as a super flood relief tax.

Hope the entire matter is understood in its true perspective and in the larger public interest.

With kind regards,
