In
another article, Deadly debt trap, Huzaima Bukhari and Dr. Ikramul Haq
talk of Riyasati Ashrafiya’s plundering and monopolization of wealth and resources of Pakistan.
They
write:
“The
way the government is moving our foreign debt would reach US$75 billion in 2015
and domestic debt would be Rs22 trillion. The policies of appeasement towards
tax evaders, money-launderers and plunderers of national wealth and
monopolisation of resources by Riasti Ashrafiya (state
aristocracy) have pushed the country towards disaster.”
And:
“The
present crisis testifies to the failure of power-hungry, money-greedy
politicians and incompetent, inefficient and corrupt bureaucrats. Even the
so-called technocrats always take the first flight to Washington after creating
mess — where are Shaukat Aziz and Abdul Hafeez now? In this bleak scenario, Riasti Ashrafiya is not ready to surrender extraordinary
perks and privileges enjoyed by them at the cost of taxpayers’ money. How can
rulers and bureaucrats living in fortified containments, completely oblivious
of the ordinary people’s plight, feel the pinch of life’s hardships?”
