Electric has over twenty more taxes included in the cost of electric. Gas prices have increased over 50% in last two years. Be said that For a self reliance Pakistan we need business friendly policies on a long term basis. No economy can flourish with out a long term business plan. Adhoc business policies will never bring desired results.

Import of luxury items have ruined the youth of our country and also a huge amount of billions is spent to raise the debit of Pakistan luxury items must be banned at once with luxury cars. Free electric and free transport with free petrol to government officials and political personalities must at once stopped it is time to pay the cost of freedom with a great responsibility to our country. .
