Express June 28, 2010

Proceedings in the Khyber Pakhtunkhawa Assembly took an interesting turn on Monday after the proposal of imposing tax on the birth of more than two children.

The proposal was made by PML-N MPA Javed Abbassi, who said that a tax should be imposed on assembly members and secretaries who have more than two children.

JUI's Mufti Kifayat ullah termed the proposal as anti-Islamic and senior Provincial Minister Bashir Bilour argued that legislation is needed to impose such tax. He said that such legislation exists in China to control the population.

Today its this, tomorrow it'll be to eat two times, sleep half a night etc etc, they are making life more miserable. Being that said aside, while these politicians cannot do anything concrete, its easy to copy the theory from others.
Shafi Afridi | 13 years ago | Reply A great idea. Daily sucide accidents do not open the eyes of orthodox religious class. Who care about scavenger kids, the kids that polish other shows and live miserable life. Alas! for the lack of rational culture in Pakistan. Those who opposes better study Mufti Abduh, Rashid Riza, Sir Sayid Ahmad Khan.
