Sir,

It is unfortunate that the Finance Minister did not table his letters to the World Bank earlier when the new policy was announced by the government. But the contents of the letter were broadly known to MPs and the public at large and a number of articles too were written on the changes which were to be implemented. It is strange that while same politicians and MPs are clamouring for economic freedom, nobody asks the question as to who made us economically bankrupt so that we had to seek the World Bank loan.

The self-seeking politicians are hounding the Finance Minister but we cannot afford to lose in the middle of the implementation of a new policy. If that happens, the nation will again recede towards economic disaster.
