Backtracking
This refers to the news report, ‘PM unveils yet
another amnesty scheme’ (March 2). In 2016, Imran Khan told the nation that
after assuming power, he would take action against all those who benefitted
from the amnesty schemes declared by the previous governments. He claimed that
amnesty schemes encouraged corruption, and that people were right to ask why
thieves were rewarded while honest citizens were being heavily taxed. However,
after forming the government, he launched two amnesty schemes. Now a third one
has been announced. If the government really cares about people, it should go
after smugglers, electricity and gas thieves and the land mafia, which has
billions of black money invested in the real-estate sector.

ANOTHER AMNESTY
Published in Dawn on March 7, 2022
This
is with reference to the news “Another ‘no questions asked’ package unveiled”
(March 2). A party that specifically blamed amnesty schemes for encouraging
corruption has launched one amnesty scheme after another in its three years in
power. What is the difference between them and the rest? If the government
really cares about the people, it should go after smugglers and mafias rather
than giving them a way out.
