State of the nation

Letter May 24, 2019
Progress demands collective and sincere efforts to arrest the trend of decline

PESHAWAR: It is saddening to see the deterioration in our society.

The country’s economy is going downhill. Corruption is widespread; it is in all spheres of life. Honesty has become foolishness. The standard of education is constantly declining. So much ill is affecting our society.

We look to a messiah to lead us to progress and enlightenment. The prevailing state of affairs is simply heart breaking. It demands collective and sincere efforts to arrest the trend of decline. We all should try our level best so that we all walk with our heads raised among the community of nations.
