Nawaz Sharif's recent tax declaration documents in Election Commission of Pakistan showed he paid only about Rs 5000 in personal income tax this year. In a recent a T.V interview, he was unable to give a straight answer on a question about this and mentioned instead that his family-owned industries had so far paid Rs 6 billions in taxes to the government. I wish our politicians have the moral courage to tell the truth to the people of Pakistan and not consider them a fool. Every one knows that the life style he is having is possible only for a billionaire. Nawaz Sharif, reportedly, has over a hundred personal servants at his Raiwind estate. From where is he having the money to pay for wages of these employees if he is such a pauper? Mr. Sharif should truthfully disclose his, and his family's wealth to the people of Pakistan. If he is not a director in any of his family-owned Industries, then what is his source of income? I believe only his kitchen expenses per month will be in hundreds of thousands as he is very fond of good food. A leader is expected to set a personal example in honesty, truthfulness and simplicity, especially when the majority of his compatriots are living below the poverty line. The Election Commission of Pakistan should ask the government for verification and investigation of Mr. Sharif's personal wealth and income so that the people know the truth. -ENGINEER S. T.
