Hiking state-run TV fee to Rs100: Rs23 bn additional burden shifted to people

[Crusher]

The b******* elite rich class of this country is a parasite for the poor classes. In Pakistan social welfare is only for the rich people and the most brutal form of capitalism is only for the poor. Social welfare bail outs are only for the rich elites whereas the poor are being preyed upon by the government of elites in the form of raising PTV fees from 35 rupees a month to 100 rupees a month, just shut this sh1tty PTV channel if you cannot finance it from government funds or finance it by imposing a PTV tax on profits of private channels, the private channels in Pakistan must fund the PTV channel if they want to continue doing business in this country.

The government and elites of Pakistan believe only in one principle, "Privatize the profits and socialize the losses".

What money no one wants to pay any taxes and the country is stuck in debt and on a country of 220 million the tax net needs a humongous jump

while asking people for more money in the name of Cororna Virus

Its not that difficult people dont want to pay taxes in Pakistan they complain there are many rich who dont a penny in taxes

As for people sitting in london whats the point of a judiciary if you dont believe in its decisions it made the decision not the goverment

Whats wrong with asking your own citizens to help the state in difficult times

Hi

The retired employees of PTV are not being paid their dues. There is almost a list of 300 employees who are in waiting list from past 2.5 years.

The Management is saying they are broke & don't have the funds.

BUT , where did all d savings went from Employees Pension Head ??
Why PTV does not have the money to pay their employees Commutation??

Here comes the dark part,
Thanks to ex-minister of state for Information Maryam Aurangzeb, savings in the Employees Pension Head were used for giving high salaries to contract employees, support lavish n luxurious incentives to higher management & ministry employees & to run & pay the salaries of Maryum Nawaz's infamous Media Cell.

PTV was milked mercilessly & left dried.
​

Same time, news were coming that Government is thinking of placing PTV under mortgage along other state assets.

Another gift from the Mafia that ruled Pakistan.

An initial inquiry was opened by NAB against ex-minister for misusing these funds & buying assets in most expensive sectors of Islamabad.

Long story short, Every other week there was a huge protest at PTV HQ in Islamabad by retired employees. Last sit in went for almost 2 months before a deal was brokered by special assistant Firdous Aashiq between employees & PTV management.

(One of the factor of Fawad Ch losing his Ministry for Information & Broadcasting was that he was reluctant to solve this mess as he had personal issues with then MD of PTV, so he faced wrath by the retired employees as well)

It was decided to clear Commutation dues of retired employees within 6 months but after few employees were cleared, management cried again of being out of funds.

Now every other day there is a sit-in in red zone & it becomes a headache for Management & the Government as well.

So, here comes the solution.

This nasty government is ensuring the profits only for the rich and elites and the taxes only for the poor and low income people.

Calm down. You better pay taxes in UK because you're sucking the government.

In Pakistan, the government doesn't use our tax money except to create wheat and sugar crisis and then sell it to us expensive.

The government hospitals are crap, schools are crap, police is crap. Anything that is run by government is crap.

The day Pakistani government provides the facilities of UK is the day everyone will cough up taxes with pleasure.

And don't give me that nonsense about there being no money. There's enough money to waste on Peshawar BRT but not enough to build one world class government hospital in Pakistan?

Actually, national channel should be free of cost. No matter what, it should be free to air.

So that a poor people can watch the channel without paying any cost.. Even with help from simple antenna..

That's a terrible argument, just like all of your arguments in the previous thread you ran away from.

The peshawar brt was a provincial project, not a federal one.

Second, you can't make something out of nothing, pay your taxes, and demand that you get the facilities.

You're expecting the government to give you free hand outs.

Mujhe koi band kamre main qed kar ke Tahir shah aur PTV main se koi aik channel choose karne ka kahe to main TV ki lead nikaalne ko tarjeeh dunga.
