The tragic story of Rupee in its own words
A national economic tragedy is in the making. Please listen to Pak Rupee voicing how it has been abused in the past by the mafia of this country and how it is misbalancing and destroying the political scene by empowering the incompetent and the corrupt lot.
Here is the tragic story of Rupee
in its own words:
My name is ‘Rupee’ and I am as
old as Pakistan. I was happy that I was born in then peaceful and glittering
city Karachi. I proudly grew strong and started serving many of my owners with
a strong economic backing as there was honesty and respect for me. I was used
for the growth and prosperity of my people from all walks of life as I had
emerged strongest in the region because of the honest ownership of mine. I was
pushing the country towards prosperity as long as I was being treated with
respect.
My misfortune started when I was
abused and forced into corruption by my corrupt and greedy masters and their
corruption destroyed my value in the world and within the country. I was forced
into exchange from one corrupt hand to another who used me in their own ways
and will.
I was badly misused to create
wedges in society through ethnicity and sectarianism. The ethnic division resultantly
broke the country into two and I lost half of Pakistan. The abuse through geed,
kickbacks, bribery and stock exchange mafia gripped me tight and I eventually
went in the custody of rich corrupt elite who came in power.
Pakistan did the worst thing by
marrying me with IMF and Fund started controlling my actual worth and destroyed
me by linking me with dollar.
This unwise linking with dollar
destroyed me and the prosperity of a common man.
I wish, I was not married with
IMF as I have lost my own face and my financial movements are now in the hands
of IMF as it dictates my fall in connivance with its own people working inside
the Pak system.
Pakistani mafias made money
through skillfully designed criminal net to devalue me and I am being beaten at
the national cost. It is enriching the mafias by many folds.
My beating to undermine my value
is happening both at home and abroad and the government with weak muscles is
letting me drown allowing my fast decline. The unprofessional and unfair
treatment has now brought negative score of 177 to me. Many geopolitical
conspiracies and anti-economic attacks from various sides are affecting me
non-stop.
Look at how my stature has been
reduced and devalued since 1947. One dollar against me: —
1947-57: PKR3.31 - 4.76
1957-67: PKR4.76 - 4.76
1977-87: PKR9.90 - 16.64
1987-97: PKR16.64 - 41.11
1997-2007: PKR41.11 - 60.73
2007-15: PKR60.73 - 102.76
2015-21: PKR102.76 - 176.95
If you look at the upward trend
of my devaluation, the beginning era of my country’s establishment gave me a
stagnant respect and value. But, when the country entered the millennial era, I
started getting devalued so much so that the years onward 2015 became the worst
period of my life as I was brutally disrespected and devalued.
I fell from grace onwards 2015,
and then rough treatment started as my owner either did not have the ability to
treat me well or they had been become corrupt and selfish that they neither
cared for me nor for a common man. There is deep relationship between me and
the common man whereas corrupt rich masses sell me off to dollars, and in this
way they create a disconnection between me and them. The poor ones still keep
me with their chest or in some safe corner of the house.
My financial custodians get me
printed to buy dollars. Although, I am the backbone of the state, yet always
under crushing attacks that have made me too weak to play in the international
financial market.
My name ‘Rupee’ is very dear to
everyone and if it goes down it brings down not only the system but endangers
the security of Pakistan as well. I am depleting because of lethal cancer of
IMF, wrong infusion of inflation and because of getting in the wrong hands in
the name of treatment by incompetent doctors deployed to treat this financial
cancer.
Despite timely warning of my
depletion, no cure has been sought rather another import of tin food etc worth
$6billion has added to my misery. If you do not treat this cancer then I am
afraid the enemies of Pakistan will use my death as the death of Pakistan.
We are just inches away from
national bankruptcy debacle. As Rupee and the icon of Pakistan, I appeal to
everyone who matters in this country to save me from this cancerous zone of my
value as 200 against 1 dollar coming forth.
I want Pakistan to be prosperous.
Halt my depletion. Otherwise, cancer of dollar will push me to point of no
return. My value needs to be restored, stabilised and protected from IMF and its
paid spin masters. There was a time when I was a mighty asset for this country.
Now I am being reduced to irreversible depleting mode. I have written appeal on
behalf of Rupee in time and I hope the government will take reforming steps and
will pay attention to badly beaten Rupee and its value.
I may be just a piece of paper or
a coin but people should not ignore, as I am the basic parameter to keep
balance in the economy and society. If people respect me and not abuse my use
then perhaps I am the only voiceless and lifeless kind of ingredient that
strengthens the nations, people, governments and political parties.
Unfortunately, the power driven from me is being misused consistently in terms
of corruption and I am being used to create imbalance in power.
Political elite uses me to
promote corruption but nobody can go to the parliament unless I am handed over
to the political bosses closed in suitcases to win the seat for my timely boss.
Political workers raise slogans about their leaders showing their might but it
is in fact me who is mighty. My misuse has brought our Pakistan at the verge of
destruction. It is high time to strengthen me if you want a strong Pakistan, as
I am your tool of defence and sign of prosperity. The views expressed above solely mine and in the national interest and do not necessarily represent the
views of my party.
