A special committee formed to recommend better working of Central Board of Revenue (CBR) which for the last 3 years is the main topic of corruption and analyists are of the opinion CBR is main reason of low tax revenue collection, has recommended that salary and perks of CBR officials be increased many fold to afford these officials to living according to their status. In other words committee wizards have diagnosed that gets “rishwat” only because of low salary.
I wonder then why same magic pill is not administered on police, motor vehicle department about which only last week nation learnt it issues fitness certificates without even vehicles coming for inspection and rates of “rishwat” for each type of vehicle also given, railways where reservation is done on “Rishwat”, telephone department so that then after administering this magic pill there are no bogus PCO and bogus overseas calls billing, et
Any why should not we start exporting this wonderful magical prescription and pill.
Last but not the least why should not we administer the same pill on our members of legislative houes.
