Share:It is a matter of mammoth embarrassment for an agricultural country like Pakistan where rampant poverty and soaring food inflation have confounded the miseries of the downtrodden segment of society manifold. Last year heavily devastating floods played havoc in Pakistan resultantly pushing about 6.8 to 9 million people into pauperism talons swooping up the poverty rate to 35.7 % as per cautious estimation of the World Bank (WB). Apart from this, it is also really heartrending to witness that we are running short of food grains, productivity, and provision of wheat flour to the people. Seeing deplorable footage of the miserably poor people running after the flour bags having money in their hands like pipe and the piper on mainstream media has cast gloom on the entire nation and quite ironically still, we claim that Pakistan is an agricultural country. Quite ironically both political opponents frequently claim to address our economic woes but on the other side, each of them doesn’t have any tangible solution to such problems.
