KARACHI: This is with reference
to your editorial “We deserve no pity” (December 9). I was reminded of Ishaq
Dar’s claim that the dollar would soon be brought down to Rs98. Mr Dar should
try to find out how General (retd) Pervez Musharraf’s government contained the
dollars’ rise to less than three per cent per year during his nine years in
power (compared with a rate of 10 per cent in the six months of the present
government’s rule).
I am sure there must still be some bureaucrats around who
remember how this ‘miracle’ was brought about, despite the country being under
strict sanctions during the first two years of Musharraf’s reign.
