Politics & prices

Published December 3, 2019

NOBODY knows what is happening in this country — Nawaz Sharif, the army chief’s extension or the Musharraf case.

The ordinary man is bewildered by the unfathomable sea of price hike. Everyday use commodities’ prices are touching skies.

Nobody is there to redress the grievances of those who voted this government in the hope of change but to no avail. People are running from pillar to post but are finding not an iota of solace from anywhere. If these conditions persist, anarchy will be the letter of the day.
