Lead by example

As a sitting Member of the National Assembly of Pakistan, I feel very embarrassed and discomforted that 159 of my colleagues have failed to file their tax returns which is their national duty.

Politicians already have a poor image and repute in front of the masses and when they see their rich and wealthy representatives not filing their tax returns, it leaves a very bad taste in the mouth.

I appeal to my colleagues, if you have nothing to hide, be forthcoming and set a good example for everyone.
