All segments of society should realise the gravity of the current situation
QUETTA: Various political parties are adopting different tactics to divert the attention of the people from real the issues at hand. Our country is facing a severe economic crisis. Prices are increasing and economic opportunities are shrinking. We are sailing in rough waters. Most people are somehow managing to keep their heads above water. Food has become scarce. Prices of other essentials too are on the rise. There is no check and balance even on the prices of medicines. It is increasingly becoming difficult to make ends meet. On the other hand, we are also witnessing consumerism. Some people have too much money for wasteful expenditure.
This is not a time for luxury. All segments of society should realise the gravity of the current situation. We should cooperate with one another to steer through these difficult times. We should learn to cut our coat according to our cloth.
