A half decade old proposal for the welfare of the families of the martyrs of war on terror..!

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad on October 5, 2009 at 2:35 am said:

To :- All the Patriotic Pakistanis.

Dear Sir/Madam.

AoA.

Nowadays, the entire Pakistani nation is fighting a battle of life and death against terrorism.

Obviously, the terrorists are fighting on behalf of their masters who have plans to either dismember Pakistan or at least strip it from its nuclear weapons.

Obviously the will of nation and the determination of the entire security apparatus, to defend Pakistan with their blood, is standing in the way of the nefarious designs of the enemies of nuclear Pakistan.

However, one thing seems clear that this fight of the survival of the nation will be a long drawn battle.

And consequently, our security forces which includes armed forces, F.C., rangers, police forces etc. will be offering more and more sacrifices for the motherland.

No doubt central and provincial governments and respective departments look after heirs of our martyrs well, according to the available resources and their rules and regulations.

It is the need of the hour that entire population of Pakistan and expatriate Pakistanis come forward on a voluntary basis, to financially support the heirs of martyrs, whose loved ones have laid down their lives, for our safe and better tomorrow.

In this regard, it is proposed that the government should take the initiative to mobilize the public opinion and take the following action.

1. Declare the salary of entire people serving in all the security forces/agencies ( armed forces, F.C., police service, intelligence agencies, rangers etc.) as tax free. Plus, they should also be exempted from property tax.

2. Government should create a fund with initial investment of Rs.1 billion (amount to be released from US grant of Kerry Lugar bill.) Rest of the amount to be collected as donations from overseas and local Pakistanis on a continuous basis, till such time the war with terrorists continues.

This fund should be managed by persons of very good repute from government and non government sectors like Abdus Sattar Edhi, Syed Baber Ali, Fakhruddin G. Ibrahim, Justice (Retd.) Bhagwandas and Cowasjee etc.

It is proposed that heirs of each security force(s) martyr be paid Rupees one crore, as a humble tribute and contribution, for their future welfare, from their fellow countrymen.

Thank you.
