My nephew in Karachi had to get a power of attorney registered at Clifton Registry. He was asked to pay a bribe of Rs 60,000. On refusal, he was told that his documents had errors. He asked all present in that room and everyone confirmed that they had to pay amounts between Rs 20,000-100,000 to get their lawful jobs done. Alternately, the registration is refused on one pretext or another.
What I state is a common practice in registrar offices at Clifton and DHA. Further, the amount is shared right to the minister’s level. So if this is how you treat a citizen, why must people not go for the suggestions made by Dr Qadri? Remove the existing leadership before creating a new one.
