Thwarted from helping

With a country that is already suffering from economic and political crisis, survival has become increasingly difficult for the citizens. Pakistan is being deprived of talented youth who are relocating for better opportunities. The ones staying behind to make a difference for the country are unable to do so, with the government constantly hindering their progress by introducing tough curbs that would allow the entrepreneurs to work freely.

Under the prevailing political situation, the attempt to block access to VPNs has affected the work of many freelancers who are seeking assignments from clients abroad. Who can we blame, but the ingenious minds behind these ‘solutions’ to thwart protests that not only tarnish the image as well as the economy of our country.
