The first stage of the new crisis already is upon us. though it has been temporarily and elaborately disguised. The next stage will soon he reached. We are rapidly approaching a watershed and a primary decision in the nation’s history. And we are ill prepared to meet them.
We are ill-prepared and. indeed, completely bewildered, because we have been working on false assumptions for two decades and. for two months, have been misled by politicians on all sides who themselves were completely nincompop. After weeks of high-pressure salesmanship, exhortation from the prime minister, nation-wide propaganda, appeals to thrift and patriotism, Their begging bowl is still emply.

The prices of milk, eggs and other dairy products have been jacked up in Sindh, including Karachi, ARY News reported on Monday.

Meanwhile, bread is being sold at Rs70 and butter at Rs60 after an increase of Rs20 and Rs10 respectively.
Citizens have criticised the authorities for failing to enforce official price rates, saying that after the school holidays it will be difficult for the parents to buy breakfast items.
