Pakistan is among the countries with the highest inflation rate. The price of electricity, petrol, diesel, gas and kerosene has increased in Pakistan. Every sector of the national economy, from transport to factories and offices, depends on fuel, so when it becomes more expensive, the cost of everything goes up.

Petrol is said to be the fuel of the country’s economy, which means that not only petrol is expensive, but because petrol is expensive, everything becomes expensive indirectly. The fuel adjustment charges that are charged in the monthly electricity bills are charged based on the price of petrol, i.e. if today the price of petrol has increased, then this increase in the price of electricity generated from this petrol will be charged in the future electricity bills. will go

The price of electricity is just one example. With the increase in the price of petrol, everything of basic necessities becomes more expensive. Price increase is not a new thing, we have been seeing for a long time, petrol becoming expensive will not only affect the economy of the common man, but society will also be affected, attitudes will also be affected and mental health will also suffer degradation.

The surprising increase in the prices of petroleum products, electricity, gas and other essential commodities has shaken the country’s economy, which is already in a bad state. The people no longer have the courage to bear more inflation.

The increase in the prices of petroleum products may have been influenced by the international market, but the fact cannot be denied that the purchasing power of the country’s middle class has become negligible and this situation is not conducive to a healthy society and country. Not at all beneficial for economic development. It should also be recognized that the IMF officials do not stop the government of Pakistan from providing relief to the people, the IMF asks the government for an alternative plan.

The truth is that the government is unable to provide an alternative plan because the state institutions and their officers and employees are not willing to reduce their salaries, perks and other benefits. Not ready. Government officers get their salaries and benefits and facilities but along with this they are not refraining from taking kickbacks, gifts and other kind of benefits.

This is the reason why our political parties, state institutions, bureaucrats, parliamentarians, landlords and tribal chiefs are all busy misleading the people of Pakistan by blaming the IMF and America. Now the situation has become so bad that none of their scraps are being sold. Now the traditional method of dumping debris on top of the IMF is not working.

The country’s employment is falling towards the middle class and middle class businesses as this segment also pays the highest taxes and is also the most affected by inflation. The government has lost its logic. Instead of misrepresenting the public, an alternative plan should be placed before the IMF authorities. The expenses should be reduced. Full tax should be collected from businessmen and big landlords.

The sectors that the government subsidizes should be reviewed, the tax exemptions in the name of welfare institutions should be abolished, if these steps are taken, it is not difficult for the government of Pakistan to prepare an alternative plan. If the government gives an alternative plan to the IMF and ensures the implementation of this alternative plan, what objection can the IMF have? IMF will have no objection to give relief on its own.
