Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi asserts that resolving Pakistan’s political and economic crises hinges on adhering to the Constitution and rule of law. He highlights escalating poverty levels across the nation, with Karachi experiencing severe water shortages. The leader also criticizes national and provincial assemblies for neglecting pressing issues, leading many young Pakistanis to emigrate.

Former finance minister Miftah Ismail emphasizes that a significant portion of the population is burdened by sales tax, exacerbating poverty rates. Government statistics indicate an increasing trend in poverty, making it challenging for impoverished individuals to maintain basic household needs. Additionally, the salaried class bears up to 40 percent in taxes, prompting calls for government intervention to alleviate their financial strain.
