This letter refers to the editorial ‘The emigration dream’ (January 15, 2024). One can understand why young people want to leave Pakistan, but why do retired government officials also settle abroad, despite having pensions of up to a million rupees a month?

Such people should be sacked, while pensions should not be paid in foreign exchange to those who have permanently left the country and are living abroad.
