Recently, a video surfaced from Pakistan in which the people there have started a strange business to increase the GDP of Pakistan. Everyone knows that the economy of Pakistan is going through a bad phase, and its most painful effect is falling on the poor people. The situation has become so bad that people have started this business out of compulsion.
According to the viral video, the people of Pakistan started this out of compulsion but now they have made it a business. The people here are selling their children, keeping different prices for boys and girls. The price of boys is higher than that of girls. Girls are being sold for only 5 lakhs, while boys are being sold for 7 lakhs. This has become a matter of concern for the Pakistani government; rather, everyone is surprised to hear this news.
Inflation is skyrocketing in Pakistan. The prices of food items have increased so much that it has become difficult for the common man to fill his stomach. The weak policies of the government and the burden of foreign debt have worsened the situation. Basic facilities like petrol, electricity, and gas are also getting out of the reach of the common people. In such a situation, people have been forced to sell their children so that they can survive.
According to the video, the work started out of compulsion and has now become a business. Now everyone is joining it and taking advantage of it. The reaction of the common people of Pakistan was also seen in this video. They say that the people doing this work have a mindset of their own; perhaps they feel that they want to give a good life to their kids and can also help themselves survive with the money received by selling them.
But the Pakistani media questioned the common people there that when they know that they are not able to bear their expenses properly, then why do they have so many kids? And after giving birth to more kids, they call them a gift from Allah. Why is this so? Human rights organizations have also reacted strongly. Buying and selling children is not only immoral but it is also a crime against humanity.
