Following India’s decision to revoke article 370 which granted special rights to Kashmir, Pakistan has been forced to play tough and they have resorted to a number of actions. Pakistan on Wednesday had suspended trade relations with India but it seems like the move has backfired.
As Pakistan enters into Eid celebrations, there is a hike in the price of many essential commodities in Pakistan. Vegetables from India was crucial for the nation, so was a lot of essentials from Punjab which used to be imported. Since the import of onion has ceased, its price has skyrocketed from Rs 40 to Rs 70/Kg there. Price of Cabbage is a similar story, as it has reached Rs 80/kg in Pakistan. Sellers feel that the price of Onion will go up further.
Soon after the Eid season, there will be a marriage season starting in Pakistan. The sudden rise in price has put the nation’s citizens in distress. Pakistan’s economy, in general, is going through a slump as Pak Rupee has fallen to 92 Rs per dollar.
