Crying Pakistan for Roti: Does Pakistan need a Modi?

Food Crisis in Pakistan:  Such a condition in India or any neighboring countries has never been seen, the condition Pakistan is facing these days. This is strange, Indian newspapers are neither publishing the news about it in detail nor they are showing any photographs of the situation there whereas TV news channels are doing an amazing job.

Food Crisis in Pakistan:  They somehow manage to show the scenes being shown on Pakistani channels nowadays. Seeing such scenes gives us goosebumps, we understand their language and we understand what they are saying. Pakistanis speak our language and their attire is also like ours.

The Pakistanis are basically Indians. Everything they say is understandable in India. Their words of grief, their screams, their sufferings, their stampedes along with their beatings – everything is heart-wrenching. Wheat flour is being sold there at the rate of Rs 250-300 per kg.  And that is also not easily available for common people. It is kind of another Covid pandemic for them. Children, old people, men and women all stay in queues all night long.  These queues are also several furlongs long. And yes, the cold is much below zero there. Can you imagine this?

The shortage of flour makes people too desperate also. Some try to snatch it from whoever gets its bag. There is news of many people losing their lives in the fight for flour. Until now, Pakistan’s Punjab used to be called the godown of wheat but now the people of Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan are also yearning for flour? Entire Pakistan is running under a shortage of flour. Maybe many people are dying there out of hunger too.

The people of entire Pakistan are crying but the world does not hear their screams. The prices of food along with drink are skyrocketing. How the poor people are surviving when even the middle class is in bad conditions

The poor guy Shahbaz Sharif is the Prime Minister of Pakistan. He is begging all over the world with his bags spread. The worse is that the Pakistani foreign exchange reserves are almost empty and they will fully be empty only in a few weeks only. If this country does not get foreign aid soon, the world will see a dying nation.

European nations, America, and Saudi Arabia have definitely helped but they have already burdened Pakistan with debt. Many people from Pakistan are also silently expecting help from India.

The question is there in view of this situation -Is India going to help Pakistan, when it already have sent thousands of tons of food grains and medicines to Afghanistan and Ukraine, Sri Lanka and Maldives? Pakistan is India’s immediate neighbor, but due to the terror habits of this country, India will not be willing to help it. One more question is there – Has Pakistan ever behaved with India as a good neighbor or just as a neighbour?

Some say Narendra Modi himself may opt for proposing to Pakistan Indian help. As history is evident, Modi is such a human-hearted person, he any time may extend his hand to help the people of Pakistan. But that help will not be for the Pakistan army or its rulers. If it happens, this would be considered as Modi’s other unique and historic initiative which will be lauded around the globe. Many Pakistanis are heard saying on Pakistan TV news channels that – ‘At this time Pakistan needs a Modi’!
