Our worthy president is yet again on the world tour to get money for Pakistan but so far has nothing to show for it except empty promises. On the other hand, these lavish tours are a big burden on the national exchequer. My request to our rulers is to first bring back their own money they have stashed up in foreign banks. They are all richie-rich of the region, if not the planet. Why not let the charity begin at home? -MRS. KHAN, via e mail, Lahore September 29.
