KARACHI: The PPP manifesto
released recently promises the moon for the common man (including a minimum
wage of Rs18,000). Based on the party’s past five years’ performance, one can
confidently predict that if elected again, it will ensure that the dollar will
soon be worth Rs300 and the prices of all essential commodities will increase
five-fold. Roti, kapraand makaan will then be elusive dreams for the
common man and he will need much more than Rs18,000 to survive.
