In imposing the 'LUXURY TAX on self occupied houses in the Punjab budget, the owner of the Raiwind estate, Mr. Shahbaz Sharif probably didn't realize that most of the residences were old family homes which the owners were maintaining with considerable cost and effort. This Tax is a cruelty of the worst kind inflicted on the 'Safaid Posh' people of the Punjab. I request the honorable and kind Chief Justice of Pakistan to take notice of this open act of cruelty against human rights where people, on account of this burden, may be forced into selling their property and hence be deprived of a secure roof above their heads.
