I was on my way to somewhere that i happened to have come upon an old man. He seemed to have been exasperated by someone and time and again he would get air flow out of his mouth in anger. I thought he might have bad fasting day but the story was something else. Both of us got into a rickshaw and there he eviscerated his anger in the form of abusing. He said that he was coming from Rashakai to TORO CNG in a Tez Raftar. As there was lockdown in Mardan and public transports had been prohibited to get enter into Mardan avenue so all public transports especially Tez Raftar would take another way to enter Mardan without being stopped by police. He said that when he got out of Rickshaw and handed over him 10 rupees fare so the driver refused to take 10 ropees instead he demanded 50 rupees to be paid as fare. He said that he fell out with him but the driver said that he had to pay 50 rupees in account of lockdown. This is as if specifically only they have been effected and the rest were enjoying lockdown. Doubling fare could be justifiable but increasing it forth time is out of question. There might be such people who may not be able even to earn poorest substenance and there might be such people who would break their fast with water only and such people are in majority in pakistan. Cooperation is badly needed in this situation but people rather like to have fullfiled their extravagant desires at the expense of other people needs. At least in this horendous situation we should have cooperated with each other and to the best of my opinion and knowledge this cooperation would serve the purpose of lifeline for these brutally supressed people by Covid-19. Everywhere you go and whatever you want to buy people will make you upside down. Government has already skyrocketed prices of items and now an additional amout has been added up to the existing highly-elevated prices by themselves. Eventhough we are unite under the flag of Islam and Pakistan, but solidarity is slumping away. Remember that whoever you vote for to be head of this country to get you out of this bad situation and time and again you go through fire and water to have a peaceful piece of territory, you will get nothing unless you change yourself with respect to your surrounding in accordance with Islamic code.
