We know you

The news about the loan defaulters and NRO beneficiaries is on a feverish pitch in the media. All TV channels and newspapers are discussing to death names of the politicians, influential businessmen and army men that walked away with a 1000 billions and no one asked them why they took the nation's money. The politicians are blaming the former military regime and government officials for the loot and offering reassurances that necessary measures would be taken against loan defaulters and the nation's money recovered. As a common person, I am telling them all that we are fed up of empty promises and mere statements. We want actions not statements. Please stop this nonsensical blame game because your faces are not hidden from us. You all belong to the same category; whoever comes in power, starts investigating the others. -WAIJHA JAWAID, Lahore, December 4.
