What a befitting tribute this is to the economic management, or rather mismanagement, of the current government.
LAHORE: This is with reference to the US dollar now exchanging at a hundred rupees for one dollar. What a befitting tribute this is to the economic management, or rather mismanagement, of the current government. Perhaps it is a sheer coincidence that when this ‘feat’ was accomplished, the heir to Pakistan’s political dynasty moved into yet another new abode, befitting a Mughal prince, in the city which is Emperor Jehangir’s last resting place.
Let us all pray that God Almighty has mercy on this unfortunate nation and gives us the wisdom to have a democracy that serves the people and not bleed them dry.
