Raza and fellow politicians voiced deep concerns about the dire situation facing Pakistani farmers. The budget, they argue, allocates a disproportionate amount of funds to non-essential projects while ignoring the urgent needs of the agricultural sector. "6 crore rupees for the President's House garden, but nothing for the farmers!" exclaimed Raza, emphasizing the government's apparent disregard for the backbone of the Pakistani economy. He detailed how crop failures, coupled with a lack of government support, have pushed many farmers to the brink of financial ruin. The video shows Raza and his colleagues discussing the challenges farmers face, including high costs of electricity, fertilizers, and seeds. The press conference generated significant social media interest, with many sharing concerns about the potential for a food crisis in Pakistan. The video underscores the need for a more equitable budget allocation that addresses the critical needs of Pakistan's farmers and ensures food security for the nation.
