The Finance Minister has hit the nail on the head by pinpointing that two grave issues stare Pakistan in the face: skyrocketing increase in the population and devastation wrought by the climatic change.
All the developmental effort in the various sectors of life afoot to lift the have-nots out from living below the poverty line will go down the drain if immediate brakes were not applied to the burgeoning population. A family population plan needs to be put into effect but to ensure that it succeeds, the powers that be, ought to first take the religious bigwigs of all sect of religion into confidence and on board before launching it side by side a vigorous media campaign through advertisements in all languages spoken in the country will have to be run for bringing home the message to all and sundry why family planning is essential for them.
The Prime minister is to attend the 80th session of General Assembly of the UN in a few days’ time. He had better draw the attention of heads of state of 100 countries who will be present there to the mammoth financial loss suffered by Pakistan due to climatic change and request for financial aid so that we tide over the financial crises on account of it which we cannot afford single handedly. The said general assembly session will also provide him with an opportunity to apprise this world forum of water aggression of India as a result of which villages in Panjab have been wiped out and lakhs of flood affectees were forced to migrate.
