Sir: According to the World Ultra Wealth Report, Pakistan is home to 415 super rich people and their assets come to approximately $ 50 billion. Last year, there were 310 Pakistanis in the category with assets worth around $ 40 billion. Apparently this sounds good but the ratio of the have-nots has also gone up considerably. The poor are offering their body parts for sale to get rid of hunger and arrange two meals a day for their families. To meet the basic needs of the family has become a Herculean task for the common man. Neither any proper data nor information about the sources of the income of the super rich is available. And it cannot be, under any circumstances, claimed that all the money has been made through just and legal means. In Pakistan, there are several ways to earn money and various means to evade taxes. The corrupt protect one another. Politicians, army officials, bureaucrats, religious leaders and business tycoons all are united to safeguard the interests of one another besides increasing their strength. The rest of the population is perhaps born to serve these ‘super human beings’. After 69 years, it is a point to ponder whether our elders sacrificed so much to achieve a separate country where the rich become richer and the poor poorer. A number of allegations are levelled against the colonial rule, but there were no such injustices as have become the order of the day in Pakistan. SHARIF NUHAAQ BALOCH Islamabad
