Great decision, we need to realize that we have been living beyond our means for so long, and this is a great step towards the right direction. Giving “Relief” to people by taking loans is one of the reasons we are where we are.
Now that the people will be paying the real prices, lets fix the gas price for industries and malls that run on literally free gas, privitace Steel mill, PIA, DISCOS etc. Govt should not be in the business of doing business, it should legislate for the people, devolve power to the local level and strengthen the might of public offices like Parliament, Supreme Court, FBR etc.
I just hope against hope that the people in power realize that nothing will grow if the nation can’t grow togather.
government also needs to live within its means . They spend lavishly on expensive cars for their officers with free petrol

It is my request to the government of Pakistan to increase the Petrol Quota of Government officers. We need an increase of atleast 50% quota. The current quota is too low for our daily needs. Thanks.
@Please Aag lagi hay Basti Main. Government Officers apni masti main.
Jitna petrol sarkar ke istemal m hae us sari petrol ke price awam ke petrol pe rakhe he. Ta ke ofceran e bala oor un ke families officer shahi kay mazi loot sakeen.
Ye kia baat hoe hm bhe garri m oor awam b apni garri m.
Ab awam chalao apni garri kesi chalati ho.
Agli week 36.9 rupee per litre barrheja phir dear awam hm bhe dekhengi kesi chalati ho garri.
People don’t know, they don’t have influence, they want to kill the oppressed, the rich are free on everything, even the government people are free
LAANAT . . .
Did the public asked for the loan?
Did the public get any cash of the loan?
Asif before leaving a senseless comment learn how a country finances work and why do we require a loan in the first place
