That pie in the sky

Mr. President Lest you forget, you made a promise with this nation that you will provide them roti, kapra aur makan. But the opposite seems true as now people are caught up in the quest for survival. Day by day the problems are increasing. People who had houses, clothes and food have been brought on the road by the pressure of inflation. The last morsels of food are being snatched from the hand of the poor. Instead of poverty, the poor are being eliminated in Pakistan today. Millions of Pakistanis that cannot afford even two square meals a day because of the Tsunami of inflation brought by your government are lamenting your empty promises. -SHEHZAD GULL BALTISTANI, Islamabad, via e-mail, October 25.
