Sir: One of the greatest social ills in this country is that of land grabbing, a menace that has thrust many an honest and well-to-do man out onto the streets due to the greed and inhumanity of the few that rule the roost. The land grabbing mafia is one of the biggest in the country and leaves no stone unturned to find someone even slightly vulnerable so that it can snatch their lands and property. I know of an old widow who was recently given a fraction of the cost of what her house and the land upon which it rests was worth, turning her out onto the streets within just a couple of days. She only agreed to sell her house after enduring days of threats and abuse. This is what the country has become — a wasteland filled by scum.REHAN GHAUSKarachi
