With the government’s successful passage of the 26th Amendment to the constitution, it is perhaps time to shift focus to addressing the pressing issues faced by the people. These challenges are multifaceted, including soaring commodity prices, inflated utility bills, steep transport fares, costly medicines, expensive medical treatment, and rising fuel prices.
Boasting about reduced inflation or a bullish stock market does little to ease the burdens of ordinary citizens. One bittersweet piece of news circulating is the rising price of gold. While this might seem positive, it highlights a harsh reality: many people are selling their family gold, often saved for their daughters’ weddings, just to survive. People now wonder if the promises of change will ever materialise into tangible relief.
