Commerce minister's advice
Commerce Minister Faruq Khan, on August 4, asked people to eat less in order to avoid problems like adulteration and price hike of food items. It is so preposterous that we do not know whether to laugh or cry. It is the government's duty to rectify these problems. How could commerce minister tell people to cut down on their food intake?
The country is passing through a severe crisis of electricity, frequent load shedding disrupts normal living, people are unable to get adequate sleep which is needed to remain healthy. In this hot, sultry weather, to get uninterrupted sleep has become a far cry. Maybe one day, minister in charge of energy sector will advise people to cut down on their sleep! People are also suffering from acute shortage of pure drinking water, sometimes they have to drink contaminated water. The minister in charge of this department may ask people to drink less water. What a country we are living in, where people who are at the helm of it disappoint us continually.
