As soon it came to power, the PML-N-led government almost halved the profits on Behbood and Pensioners Benefit accounts of the National Savings Certificates. In comparison, the previous governments had increased the profits on these funds to ensure that senior citizens and pensioners could live respectfully. It seems that the present government has no sympathy with the poor.
It is the responsibility of the government to pay attention to the plight of senior citizens and pensioners who receive a small amount of pension.
