Malik Riaz’s call to Pakistan’s Elite
Malik Riaz of Bahria Town fame is one of Pakistan’s richest men. Moved by the Pakistani floods, Malik Riaz has written an open letter to the rich elite of Pakistan urging them to help the Pakistani masses who have lost everything owing to the devastating floods. The letter is shared below:
The Pakistani elite have been set the challenge of their lives by Malik Riaz and I praise his efforts in seeking to awaken the comatose elite of Pakistan. The key challenge before the rich elite is whether they can serve the masses of Pakistan in principle and not for profit.
The masses have been hungry and angry for decades whilst the Pakistani elite have been blind to their suffering. The burning question before us that needs an urgent answer, is whether the rich Pakistani elite will take an about-turn and make up for their deeds or will they remain unconcerned even now, if they do then they risk drowning in the sea of anger that is today’s Pakistan.
This is truly commendable initiative. Perhaps first long awaited right step for self sufficent and dignified Islamic Pakistan. I pray other rich folks would follow the laudable example of Malik Riaz and deposit genrously in the proposed fund. In fact many ordinary people would also contribute in due course. May Alah soften our hearts for the poor and needy and with His mercy we can all come out of this catastrophe.
