Policies being made to support one per cent elite

Islamabad:The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Thursday said all important policies are being framed while keeping in mind the interests of elite which are less than one per cent while over ninety nine per cent masses are facing worst type of exploitation.

Government’s policies are helping rich amass more wealth while underprivileged are becoming poorer by the passage of every day which has left majority desperate, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.
Politicians, generals, landed aristocracy and urban elite are multiplying their fortunes at an amazing speed which our financial wizards define as economic progress, he said.

Contrary to that, poor are being systematically denied of basic facilities like health, education, clean drinking water, access to law and equal opportunities; now situation has worsened to an extent where feeding families has become impossible forcing many to kill children or commit suicides.
