Inflation The people and the rulers.

 Inflation The people and the rulers.

In a media workshop, some dignitaries were saying that we say that Pakistan has been blessed with everything. There is no food or water in this country. Natural reserves of minerals are buried underground. I strongly disagreed with them because Pakistan is indeed a God-given country to which God has bestowed every blessing and abundance. It is our job to use it and plan for it. Power gave minerals but by making iron it was not made by God but by David (AS), the ark for water was made by Noah (AS), the seed was made by God and the crop was sown and reaped by man. We are not the children of Israel, we are the children of Ishmael. Man and Salwa will not come down for us, but we have settled the valley, the non-agricultural Mecca. He has done the work of nature. Now, as noble creatures, we also have some responsibilities that we have fulfilled. That each of us is just trying to get as much as possible. Our planners are waiting for the arrival of a space creature and that is why our dependence on institutions like the IMF is increasing. Despite being an agricultural country, we Not only are they suffering from food shortages but the agricultural land is still being turned into continuous townships which of course get permission from the government but the government planners are not worried as agricultural commodities are expensive or Cheap industrial commodities like pennies or camel elephant prices, there is no commotion in the houses of power. Such resolutions are initially made on the floor of the assembly but then the leaders of the opposition also made suggestions to the government. By ratifying it, they make it a law and the shoulders of the people are further burdened by the burden of inflation. A laborer is obliged to pay a tax, a person who lights a light bulb is obliged to pay a tax, and a person who uses gas only for cooking pays a tax no matter how carefully he uses it, if it If the tax was used for the betterment and development of the country, the people might still be convinced that their money is working for them, but it is not. Neither education nor health is cheap. When a common man is ill, the family first has to worry about expensive medicines and doctors, but it does not matter to our rulers because they are suffering from fever and cough. They can also go abroad for treatment. Even if education is expensive, they don't care because their children are adorned with education in foreign universities instead of getting a general education in Pakistan. I don't mind at all. Because wherever knowledge may be obtained, but if it were on the basis of merit, who said that these children are the most deserving of all, then it would still be acceptable if the rulers cared about the children of the nation who He has to live in this country and serve it, but what is happening is that the copies which were worth ten rupees two years ago have now reached thirty to forty rupees. A pencil of two rupees is getting five rupees and so he is a child. Those whose parents barely make ends meet are deprived of education. Some of them are wandering, some are wandering. Thieves become thieves and robbers and parents who want to educate their children at all costs not only cut their stomachs but also kill the other desires of the children as they are paid their fees which increase every year from the previous year. Have to

Now let's move on to food items that are no longer expensive in years or months, but now if you go to buy them again and again, the prices have gone up. Now you are trying to get used to these increased prices. That is another addition to this increase.

Pakistan is an agricultural country but take flour, rice, sugar, onion, tomato, garlic and eggplant in their place. In such a situation, where should a poor person go and what should he do? In such cases, criminals and suicide The emergence of bombers is not surprising. Obviously, the lentils that were considered the food of the poor have now gone up to Rs.

We cannot separate the situation of Pakistan from the situation of the world. Inflation is a problem of the whole world today and it is in the grip of inflation as a whole but being a poor country the people of Pakistan are carrying this burden carefully. And the situation worsens when the poor people of this country have to pay strange taxes in order to get help from institutions like the IMF, and the ruling class is more than the people in bringing the situation to this point. Is responsible who does not compromise on his comfort and convenience. Behind him is an army of cars, lavish dinners, expensive clothes and a luxurious lifestyle. Everything goes on. Millions are spent on foreign trips and Then a new tax is levied on the public to cover all expenses.

The problem is, of course, the disease is not incurable. Only sincere planning and sincere action on it can alleviate our difficulties, and by adopting simplicity from the people to the government level, we can reduce many of our expenses. For this, the government has to take the initiative not only in adopting austerity and reducing expenditure, but also putting its own interests above the country.
