His Excellency our President of Pakistan Mr. Asif Ali Zardari has proposed a flood tax for early rehabilitation of millions ruined by the current devastating floods. It is really a very good proposal of him. However the masses since already are under numerous unaccountable direct and indirect taxes this proposal would definitely meet criticism and may not produce that effects as our kind hearted and generous President wishes. Alternatively I humbly propose that His Excellency the President may enact a mandatory disclosure and declaration of each and every asset, palace, flat, business, income, bank account every Pakistani has abroad and a proper levy of tax on that. The enactment must contain a clause that if any one mis-declared, concealed any details in the declaration and at any later stage any Ansar or Klasra shocked the nation with its revelation, all the local family property/bank account of the said family (husband/wife/children/parents) would be forfeited and 20% of such found wealth will be given as award to the disclosing Ansar or Klasra. The levy of this tax will not only bring more chunk as compared to flood tax on already burdened masses but would also encourage more to become Ansars or Klasras.

A lot of criticism has appeared in the press. Every one has criticised this in his own way. For example one Dr. Irfan Zafar making it a campaign has in different newspapers suggested that PIA should had adopted a simple way namely feeding the rats with the its in-cabin food. As a true Pakistani I wonder what type of the food Dr. Irfan’s home kitchen serves him. Many airlines in the world have stopped serving free food. Thursday last my wife came from abroad by a foreign airline when she was served “Potato biryani”. Continue reading »
