Things were getting a bit heated around here. I thought before posting my response to explain my last post and answer some of the comments, let’s lighten it up a bit. As I was browsing Tehrik-i-Insaaf’s website, I came across the pictures of this outrageously extravagant palace, here they are for your viewing pleasure (clicking on each tiny picture below will open the corresponding full-sized one) -
Like me, you must be thinking whoever owns this house is either a corrupt politician, big time mafia king, a Saudi Shiekh or basically somebody with a lot of black money, after all who else can afford to spend so incredibly lavishly on a house and yet lack the finesse to do a decent job. You are right on all accounts, this is Pakistan’s Prime Minister House. Now I know why they all want to be prime ministers, who wouldn’t wanna live in this palace. I also finally understood why paying taxes is so important, it would have taken at least quarter of our fixed income middle class to build this palace.
