Inflation is increase by the day in Pakistan.
ISLAMABAD: Inflation is increase by the day in Pakistan. There is nothing to wear, nothing to eat. Majority of the people of Pakistan are being devoid of even the most basic of rights. The middle class is shrinking towards the lower end of the spectrum while the poor becomes poorer and the rich becomes richer. This is because of the increasing class divide due to severe inequality in the country.
Salaries and pensions may be the same but the prices food items and other basic commodities have skyrocketed. A common man can’t even afford fundamental needs, how can he afford to fulfill his desires?
Inflation is the main problem that our country faces. Our government must provide the job opportunities without favoritism and based on merit. There are a huge number of people who have their highly qualified degrees but no jobs. Their degrees are worth nothing more than just paper. When the people are hungry and homeless, what is the purpose of the nation in the first place?
