There is a constant bombardment of mobile packages by the mobile operators with free minutes/hours for the customers. A nation, which does not have enough food to feed the hungry, cannot provide shelter for the homeless and where educational institutions are shutting down owing to lack of funds, we have something which is eating away any hope for success for our future generation. We are stealing the most valuable asset of our youth, time at such cheap rates. What benefit do we think we are getting here? We are certainly destroying a whole generation by buying their valuable time. Please wake up before it is too late. DR. IRFAN ZAFAR, Islamabad, October 27.
