Criticism
Corruption is rampant at the airport. Pakistani expatriates who live abroad have expressed severe dismay over the hassle and disrespect they are given when they arrive at the airport. British Pakistanis, most of whom speak only English complain that custom officials as well as police officers have taken advantage of them in the form of bribes, intimidation and even arrest. Many British Pakistani families have had money, gifts and presents stolen from their luggage, items confiscated without reason and fictional taxes imposed on certain declared items, even if the passengers have no items to declare.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
