Flour price hits record high of Rs2500 per 20kg in Karachi

Jiey Bhutto Nawaz Sharif.

This nation deserves this.

Luckily I don't live with 200 million stupids 🤣

2500 rupees for 20 kg means Rs. 125 for 1 kg(half a dollar). With 100 grams per Roti, 1 kg gives you 10 rotis.

It may be expensive for some, may not be for others.

The problem comes when Pakistanis with their half a dozen kids and stay at home wife want everything for free or atleast cheap. For those people, everything is always expensive and it's always Govt' fault. It's never their fault to stay illietrate, never their fault to not let their women folk work instead of being baby making machines, never their fault to not have any family planning etc.

The atta price doesnt seem to be higher than India (adjusted for exchange rate). What helps poor Indians is that about 60% of the population is entitled to get 10 kg rice/atta at Rs 2/kg and it seems it is getting distributed transparently. I presume Pak too has a subsidised grain programme and also cash transfer under the BISP?

The treachery of Mir Jaffer's successors of the sepoy army. A fully empowered city of Karachi performing at its full potential is the only existential threat to punjabi dominated mil-establishment's hegemony.

Some discrimination does seem to be at play here. Double price for atta is unbelievable.

Provinces buy from their own province first at their own fixed price in which Sindh's price has always been higher. Then from other province and then they import if needed. Also you forgot the recent once in a century floods too in which Sindh is badly hurt.

Don't worry Shoe-Baaz will sell his clothes to bring down inflation.

Or rice, which we have surplus of.

But hey, Ghareeb Awaam will want that for free too.


French revolution started for the lack of bread for poors, and extravagances for the few rich, and that quote by the queen. Maybe this is a harbinger of a revolution.



"Let them eat cake" is the traditional translation of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche", said to have been spoken in the 17th or 18th century by "a great princess" upon being told that the peasants had no bread.
