The allied government of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is making every possible effort to convince the people that in a few months the situation in the country will improve and political and economic stability will come, however, the ground reality is not that,and what the statistics show is totally different from the claims and promises of the government.
Talking regarding the current situation in the country, the government spokesperson has described the inflation as a temporary problem. According to the spokesperson, there is no shortage of wheat reserves, however the situation is contrary to the claim of the government. Apart from this, the shipment of soybeans at Karachi Port is not being supplied, due to with the poultry and cooking oil industries are facing sever difficulties. When chicken feed and cooking oil will not be prepared from soybean seeds and husks, then chicken will not be available in the market even for 1000 rupees per kg and the same situation will be of the availability of cooking oil.
Not only this, Russia has refused to give Pakistan a discount of 30 to 40 percent on crude oil, saying that they cannot give this discount at present. The Pakistani delegation had requested this concession during the negotiations in Moscow, but it was rejected. It is no secret that Pakistan currently has no long-term plan to overcome the fuel shortage, all this show how serious is the situation for the country.
Another major problem, which is rising, is the increase in the cost of medicines and its shortage. It is feared that after some time the medicines will not be available in the market, and even if it available, it will be so expensive that a common man could not afford it. Already 16 national and multinational medicines companies have winded up their businesses in the county due to which patients are not able to get medicines even at expensive prices. In view of the current dire situation, the government needs to take major steps in the interest of the people.
