Any tax on agriculture should be in “mundi”, where all produce should ideally go. The British gave us that system which we ignored and tore down. People who bought “plots” in designated mundies lost their plots to “Katchi Bastees” without compensation. The same is true for the greatest of all the assets left by the British our national canal system. The state of disrepair and neglect is appalling. Under these circumstances, no Agri tax is due to any government. We are however, forced to pay this so called “Jagga”, provincial land rental tax, as if Moguls kings are back and they are the rightful owners of all land of Pakistan.
