  Corruption at its peak  

Published on: May 3, 2011 7:00 PM

Sir: Life in Pakistan has become a nightmare for ordinary citizens. This is a time when the middle class is almost disappearing from Pakistan’s map. We have only two classes left in Pakistan, i.e. the poor and the rich, and day by day the gap between these two classes is widening further. Prices for basic living things are out of the reach of ordinary people.

Almost 70 percent of the national and provincial assembly members are involved in corruption and hold fake degrees. As many as 93 members of the National Assembly have financial liabilities of almost five billion rupees while 53 MNAs of Punjab have liabilities of Rs 687.98 million.

When will the people of Pakistan stop supporting these corrupt people? Who will pay for their loans, which they intend never to return? If they do not pay, we should stand up against them in their constituencies and demand the return of their loans. This is the only way out of this mess.
