The Pakistani people need to take responsibility for their corruption as well, instead of asking the government to bail them out every time. These aren't foreign forces hiking the prices, it's every day common Pakistanis. Happens every year. When every single one of us is doing this, how will the government control it?

Ironically, I've seen non-Muslim big chains and small vendors drop their prices during Ramzan here. Good job Pakistani Musalmans. What's the schedule for the next anti-blasphemy protest?

Lahore and Punjab its terrible situation, gone bad to worse, in al most everything from hair-cutting, to buying daily items to buying fruits everything is so so expensive in Punjab and Lahore now!!!

Terrible mismanagemetn and performane by PTI , Imran Khan and Buzdar Khan in Punjab.

Government must forbid for a Muslim to own and run grocery store. Instead government should make sure only a non Muslim run such stores. That way we will have low prices. Otherwise tukay waly musalmaan hay ham sab by chance waly..... Ramzan me cheezy menhgi he krty rahn Gy...

It seems that this government wants to bring more people to those langarkhana for free food they are running (read salani trust) because they care for poor people since keeping food prices and inflation in check is too much to ask.

It's a vicious circle, for vendors who have to buy raw material from unregulated wholesalers; who when go home have to fulfill the needs of their household with majority households having sole breadwinners because the rest don't find jobs. Putting it all on awam is unfair.

High inflation hence high remittances overseas Pakistanis are sending to support their families back home. And this government is jumping up and down like monkeys on that. No jobs for young graduates, no massive increase in tax collection, no betterment in corruption. But hey let's partner with charity organizations and with little incentives to them with no government investment let's sell the image of largarkhana, panah gah and what not under the umbrella of ehsas.
