Due to common man’s sufferings: It’s getting difficult to continue with govt, says Elahi

In a series of tweets issued here, he said the government seemed failing to mitigate the public sufferings. He regretted that the government was rubbing salt into the wounds of the public by presenting non-issues as serious issues. He said the situation would worsen if immediate relief was not provided to the common man. He suggested to the government to show seriousness in resolving all issues facing the public currently.
