This country has suffered a lot chicaneries in the last six decades. First, Pakistan's first Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan was martyred, then Pakistan Army took over to impose a Martial Law, then the country was divided, then we were again deprived of the enervate democracy. It kept on this pattern with sometimes civil, but mostly uncivil, government. Now the State Bank has delved in our past to come up with a report saying Pakistani rulers, including politicians, Army and civil bureaucrats and industrialists borrowed Rs. 193 billions that were written off from 1997 to 2009. The Supreme Court of Pakistan has asked for the list of borrowers and the Governor State Bank is expected to appear before it with the damning record of these shenanigans. My request to the Supreme Court of Pakistan is that they can undo all the wrongs of the past if they could devise a formula through which this defaulted money is recovered and provided for relief to the poor ordinary citizens of this country. At the moment, the high electricity tariff is the biggest bane of our lives. Perhaps this amount can be provided for subsidy on electricity for the nation. The banks, having written of this money already, have no right on this money. We pray to Allah for blessing our courts and giving them courage to make a decision in favour of the ordinary people of Pakistan. Amen -MUHAMMAD KASHIF, Karachi, January 7.
