Poverty and suicide

Letter September 29, 2010
“On poverty-led suicide” portrays the bitter reality about the socio-political system in Pakistan.

LONDON: This is with reference to the article “On poverty-led suicide” by Dr Abid Qaiyum Suleri (September 28). Such stories are always disturbing to hear, particularly when one is away from Pakistan. Unfortunately, this is the bitter reality about the socio-political system in Pakistan. And the unfortunate thing is that it will not get better for the poor people of Pakistan any time soon.
