And the dumb arguments put forth by witless intellects squawking over anything that comes from IK's mouth. Talk about knee jerk reactions lol.
What you fail to understand is it's not just about their salaries but the outlandish perks they've decided on, including for ex CMs.
It's not always about monetary effects, not directly at least. It helps build a common understanding among the politicians and bureaucrats what it takes to rebuild a nation.
We aren't cutting our coats according to the cloth and expect the country to somehow bounce back. IK doesn't hold a magic wand.
This was an act of utmost self indulgence by the Punjab assembly, extremely foolish as well, as if they don't care about their image or what they stand for at all.
Again in case your attention span doesn't cover the whole passage, it's not the salary increase raising eyebrows. They should have increased it long ago. It's about the privileges, privileges they don't deserve to have and Pakistan can barely afford.
We sent politicians to those assemblies, we don't expect them to come out as parasites. Otherwise what's wrong with PMLN-PPP? They looted this nation and let others loot it too. A win win situation.
