Mst. Farzana Raja has billions of rupees in Benazir Income Support Program, which I suppose, is to help the poor people. Recently, she visited America and told the American government in detail how this program is helping the poor and needy in Pakistan. She was successful and the Americans gave her millions of dollars for this program. Here I would like to bring to the notice of Mst. Farzana Raja that at the lowest level this program is corrupting people. Recently, in my locality a postman accompanied with another man who was supposed to fill in the required form, took rupees seven thousand each in half an hour from seven poor women who were supposed to get Rs 9000 but got Rs 7000 each in the end. The postman and the other man told these women that the money they were taking would be shared by others in the office. I wonder how Mst. Raja could stop this corruption. If it is not stopped now, it is going to spread. -COL (Retd) R.M. AKHTAR, Lahore, via e-mail, August 22.
