THIS refers to the poverty in our country which sometimes forces underprivileged people to sell off their body organs for a living. This is shocking as well as disgusting.

According to a recent report, there has been a 20 per cent increase in the people who sell their liver and eye to earn money. Sadly, when poor people cannot find a job and have to feed their families, they sell one of their eyes or liver to earn money.When people cannot get a job in Pakistan, they go to other countries like Oman, Iran, the UAE for jobs. They are always successful in getting jobs abroad but in Pakistan they hardly get one.

I request the government to provide jobs to all citizens to overcome social issues such as selling of body organs.
