Iftar party
A reader, On e-mail
With due respect to the solemnity of Ramadan, I want to raise a few questions regarding Iftar parties organised with tax payers' money. We have seen the first one organised for high officials. One can expect that a few more are in the line up as usual. My observations and questions are :How much expenditure is incurred for each such party? What kind of budgetary provisions are in the book? How much has been spent for the one held so far this year? Is it a political culture, or our religion supports it? It ends up more in " shaju-guju" and golpa-gujab". I am not against it, but why use public money? Finally, without any reservation I shall urge upon the authorities to stop this kind of iftar culture. And if needed, do it by individual subscriptions, except for those arranged for the poor.
