However, a journalist questioned the minister’s claim about falling prices, pointing out that “everything has been expensive.” In response, Aurangzeb acknowledged the concern and assured that the government is monitoring the situation. “We have to activate the price control committees to extend benefits to people,” he added.

The minister also stressed the need for collective effort, stating, “We have to sit together to reach an understanding that, come what may, no compromise will be made over some basic things.”
