He was pleased of a new order and didn’t have any sympathy with victims, but as a journalist, it was
his duty to cover any issue which offends any class. He entered the press club,
where a group of saddening and upset women of different backgrounds were waiting for him.
He felt as a victor at heart, but at face, he posed of their only well-wisher. He
set his tape to record all discussion or comments and sat on a calm chair.
Reporter: There must be some real issue that all beautiful ladies are
gathered under one flag (He showed a hell of ignorance)?
First lady: A real and a concerned issue. (The lady
emphasized on each word). We’re here to record our plea to first lady, Bushra
Bibi and prime Minister Imran Khan, regarding the unjust with women of Pakistan by imposing of 14% tax on branded
suits. Anyone have thoughts… how we’ll manage this serious matter? Where would we rush now to relax our hard earned money? You know brother, saving is in the nature of every
woman. It’s we, who raise a house after gathering each straw-like sparrows. We wait for the lawn sales for the whole
season, save a lot of money and after indulging at pushing, pulling and snatching adventure remain successful to grab any good and reasonable suit. ( The women got emotional and loud).
Reporter: “Saves to drown”! Don’t you think, these brands make you
fool by sale, every month? (Reporter sighed).
Second lady: Not at all. Look at my dress. My favorite brand
only offers sale twice… thrice… or hardly 4 times in a long summer season. I hardly
snatched it at sale in a hell of a crowd (She pointed towards her with mentioning the price and brand loudly). A nasty, heavy
woman almost squeezed me under its paws and partition of shop hit my head but I
didn’t let this dress go. It cost just Rs 5000 to me when its actual price was
Rs 8000. This government has plans to ruin the only pleasure of the women of Pakistan by imposing 14% tax on branded suits. You tell us, is the Rs 800 tax is worth of Rs 4000 suits? If I could save that 800 then definitely I could buy
another shirt from the brand. I could just buy 3 suits from the sale.
Reporter: 3 suits from one sale. Then why are you worried, sister.
They’ll be enough for the season. (The reporter was estimating the money, which
went to the lawn outlet drawer by a single customer).
Second lady: What about next year? I always buy 5 to 6
suits for next scorching summer from sales.
Reporter: Then what about the dresses, you bought last year?
Lady: I didn’t like the prints, so I gifted them to my friends. (The
lady choked her eyebrows).
Reporter: There are taxes on food items too, but you ladies are not protesting
against that?
Lady: Expenses on food items can be cut down, but the high-quality
dressing is must to live reputable in society (KHAO MAN PA DA, PEHNO JUG PA DA). We know nothing, the government have to step back on the decision of taxes otherwise…
Reporter: Otherwise, you’ll stop buying lawn suits? (The reporter felt the tickling of joy at heart).
Third Lady: Why would we? You just do your work and publish our interview as the 14% tax on branded lawn will destroy our home industry. Many people will be unemployed. Make interview as hitting as possible. (The lady was too arrogant and bossy).
Reporter: I can guess, many of you would be working ladies and much-needed dresses all the time (he reminded of his wife’s justification at every new dress)
but this lawn phobia has smashed the contentment from ladies and they keep on
wasting money on buying lawn dresses without noticing it. Dress means to be comfortable, not to show off, but here…,’
Lady: Brother, we’ve called you to take our voice to the media, not to give us a lecture. It is the only
pleasure of tired working women or depressed housewives of Pakistan. We're upset and
you should understand it. Nobody cares, what I’ll wear to an upcoming event, as I’ve nothing to
wear. (The lady thought of her overcrowded wardrobe and sighed).

| 14% tax on branded lawn-nothing to wear |
Lady: After all, your wife will also be affected like us. This
tax would also hit you and the saving nature of your wife.
Reporter paused for a moment and mumbled,
'It’s to be decided yet who is most affected, her or me? I was planning to buy a Honda civic but I could buy a Honda aspire. Instead of 1kanals , I’ve bought 5 Marla plot.
'It’s to be decided yet who is most affected, her or me? I was planning to buy a Honda civic but I could buy a Honda aspire. Instead of 1
I thought this tax would break this lawn hypnotism, but I know… it’ll take time. I’m not sure for women, but men will definitely vote to Imran Khan for this immense step of putting the tax
on branded lawn. Soon, Pakistani women will put down their lawn sale mania and will save their money and energy for some real task.' The reporter sighed and gazed at upset ladies.
'Don’t worry, I’ll send your protest to Bushra Bibi and Imran Khan through all media forms. (He couldn’t stand it anymore and stand up).
'Don’t worry, I’ll send your protest to Bushra Bibi and Imran Khan through all media forms. (He couldn’t stand it anymore and stand up).
He gathered his gadgets and walked out. He was gazing at
the recording tape when it slipped down to the road and crashed under the wheel of
rushing cars as there was lawn on sale nearby,
all cars were in a hurry and most drivers were women.
