Poverty:

Poverty Line: In Pakistan, 24.3% of the population lives below the national poverty line per data collected by Asian Development Bank and The World Bank in 2015, 31% in rural areas and 13% in urban areas, 38.8% of the national population is poor based on the multidimensional poverty index (MPI) 54.6% in rural areas and 9.4% in urban areas. We have been blessed with a country full of natural and human resources, talented people in the country and outside the country. Primarily we are an agrarian country with lots to offer to our population and the rest of the global economy. Our only drawback has been the dearth of leadership that is why we never had wise, considerate, and committed towards the prosperity and growth of the country and its people instead selfish, committing frauds and even traitors.

We must remember, Islam does not allow people to self-nomination themselves into the power corridors of the government, it must be Selection (Shura) The committee will choose people based on their field of expertise, ethics, and credentials. All those people who will be selected for jobs within the government must give up their other jobs and businesses.
