Poverty Drives Pakistanis to Suicide

What kind of people committin suicide for poverty? Never heard of this stuff except ofcourse in India.
Oh really? Looks like you know squat about your country! About 6.5 million people of Bangladesh are suicide-prone. A total of 128.8 people among 100,000 commit suicide a year. And a substantial percentage due to poverty!

This disclosure came from a survey report of Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, Dhaka under the auspices of the Health Department which was revealed at a press conference in Dhaka recently. Go check it out.
 
Its true since this pathetic government came poverty has increased two-fold. Development funds are going into the pockets of these thugs.

Pakistan needs a growth rate of about 3% or more to maintain the number of jobs available for its population. Instead our growth rate is reduced due to severe corruption and development funds are not being utilized properly.

We have to pay for our mistakes. We voted in a pathetic, terrorist party that shouldn't even have the right to contest after losing us half the country in 1971. Did we forget how ZAB the traitor threatened to break the legs of Bengalis if they voted and then a few years later went and prayed for the souls of Mukti Bahini

He purposely tore the land apart. In fact he deserved what he got from Zia and I hope Zardari gets the same. Each time a PPP government has come in the growth rate has been reduced. Remote schools staff and rural areas health care facilities don't recieve their payments. Its all a vicious cycle. If you have a traitorous government you have to pay the price.
 
Poverty has no nationality, religion, colour, caste or creed.
well said mate..we should not make poverty as a subject to vent our frustration to each other..or to bash nationality..we cant do nothing to alleviate them from poverty ..but atleast we should not make fun out of it.just to satisfy our false ego.
my 2 cents.
 
people really don't need a reason to Suicide. Look at the suicide rate in developed countries which is much higher than under-developed countries. Suicide due to poverty is also a common syndrome among poor countries. Many people in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, African nations and other parts of the world tends to give up and say to God... You can't fire me, I quit. Its a shameful act though, I hope sanity prevails and they learn to fight against poverty.

Everybody has hardships in their life but suicide is just a coward way of running away from your problems
 
i hope all this stops in both Pakistan and India .

Btw , this happens all around the world . Lack of money drives people to suicide even in the developed world .it is all about relative wealth .

Extremes and ignorance can bring people to do desperate things, big stars in Hollywood worth hundreds of millions committed suicide too.
 
I have some thing to tell you and I am sure that you people have much more to say about it:
I have heard a little while ago that Suzuki is going to shift its plant from Pakistan to bangladesh. More over yesterday I have heard that many people have been complaining since the last 2 years that the Roh-e-Afza is quite short or almost invisible from the market its just because of the fact that the company that makes it is moving its plant from Pakistan to India and Qarshi is also relocating its plant from Pakistan to bangladesh as well in India. I hoped that people of this country would realize the fact that our industries should be part of our economy, there are Political Parities that used to ask money from them every month and even threatens them to take their part workers as their employees and if they won't then they owner and his family would be killed. The problem even worsen because there is not a single party there are lots of parties that wants to take the jobs and give it to their workers with the salary that is not offered by the company and more over they threaten that the owner will not going to give this job to any other party members or to any other person in any way. So this is also the reason for un employment in Pakistan. So there is nothing an honest man can do, I am a resident of Karachi and used to feel that pain that there is a situation in Karachi which worsening by every passing hour and minute. I used to see many trucks with machinery loaded on them running on the roads and most probably going towards the port which is a sign of industries moving outside Pakistan, this happens after sunset. ALLAH is the only one who can save our Present and Future.... Ameen.
 
It's still much lower than India's poverty levels. Just look up any UN, World Bank, IMF, CIA World Factbook statistics if you don't believe me.

Please stay on topic. This is about pakistan's poverty problems which is leading them to commit suicide. Has nothing to do with India.

Sad, hopefully pakistan will come up with a resolution to help those that are suffering.

Yes but when it comes to poverty we must compare to India because India are leaders in the world when it comes to matters about poverty. In this they are a true superpower and head and shoulders above all countries even whole continents like Africa can not be compared with the Indian lead in these matters
