Islamabad: Economic crisis and food shortage are worsening in Pakistan. A video of people chasing a truck carrying wheat on two-wheelers and raising currency notes and shouting for wheat is being discussed on social media. The shortage of wheat in different parts of the country is also affecting the people a lot. According to reports, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir is on the verge of food riots.
‘This is not a motorcycle rally. It is a sight of people following a truck that is passing by with wheat.’ National Equality Party Chairman Professor Sajjad Raja tweeted. ANI reported that a packet of wheat is being sold for 3000 Pakistani rupees in the country. People are blaming the government of Islamabad and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
The government had stopped providing wheat to the people at subsidized rates. The rise in prices of essential commodities has also made the problem here very serious. Local media also reported that there was a situation where a wheat truck was overturned and stones were thrown at the driver.
