Failed state

Published in The Friday Times on March 24-30, 2006 

Sir, 

NAB has closed its investigation into the sugar scam following threats by those involved of a further price hike. It seems that criminals are highly influential in this land of the pure. They can flour the law with impunity, and they can enter parliament, where they impose taxes without paying taxes themselves. Do we need any more proof that Pakistan is a failed state?

Shakir Lakhani, 

Karachi
