ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Wazir-e-Mansooba Bandi Ahsan Iqbal ne aitraf kiya hai ke 2024-25 mein Pakistan mein ghurbat barh kar 28.9% ho gayi, jis se pichhli dahai ki zyada tar kamyabiyon ka khatma ho gaya, jabke hukumat mehroomi ki paimaish ka tareeqa badalne par ghaur kar rahi hai.
Sarkari adad-o-shumar ke mutabiq qaumi satah par zari ghurbat 2013-14 mein 29.5% se kam ho kar 2015-16 mein 24.3% aur 2018-19 mein 21.9% reh gayi thi. Iqbal ne Budh ko University of Oxford mein Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) ke saath aik muahide par dastakhat ki taqreeb mein kaha ke taza tareen takhmeena us taraqqi mein "numayan paspai" ki akkasi karta hai.
Unhon ne kaha, "Siyasi adam istehkam, policy mein adam tasalsul, maashi bohranon aur mausmiyati jhatkon ne taraqqiyati kamyabiyon ko palat diya." Un ka mazeed kehna tha ke ghurbat mein kami ko dobara durust raste par lane ke liye siyasi istehkam, paidar numu aur taraqqiyati tarjeehat mein tasalsul darkar hai.
Mausmiyati jhatke aur halqa war naqshe
Muahide ke teht wazarat-e-mansooba bandi aur OPHI Pakistan ke Multidimensional Poverty Index ki tajdeed ka jaiza lenge, jo is waqt sehat, taleem aur meyar-e-zindagi ki paimaish karta hai. Hukkam ne The Express Tribune ko bataya ke OPHI ne mausmiyati jhatkon, abadiyati dabao aur mawaqe ki raah mein nayi rukawaton ko shamil karne ki tajweez di hai. Donon fareeq 2023 ki mardum shumari ke adad-o-shumar ki madad se Qaumi aur Subai Assembly ke har halqe ke liye ghurbat ke tajziye ka imkan bhi talash karenge. Hukkam ke mutabiq Pakistan Bureau of Statistics halqa war tajzia pehle hi tayyar kar chuka hai, lekin hukumat ne is ke siyasi muzmirat ki wajah se abhi yeh faisla nahin kiya ke ise shaya kiya jaye ya nahin.
Ghurbat ki sabiqa naqsha bandi mein Pakistan ke 20 ghareeb tareen azla ki nishandahi ki gayi thi: 11 Balochistan mein, paanch Sindh mein, teen Khyber Pakhtunkhwa mein aur aik Punjab mein.
"Udhar ka aur thithra hua"
Iqbal ne haal hi mein hukumat ki maashi simt par hukumati safon se hat kar mauqif ikhtiyar kiya hai. Wazir-e-Azam Shehbaz Sharif ke naam aik khat mein unhon ne maujooda istehkam ko "udhar ka aur thithra hua" qarar diya aur khabardar kiya: "Sab se bara khatra yeh hai ke Pakistan kamyabi ke saath maashi numu ki structural taur par kam sharah par mustahkam ho jaye." Unhon ne nishandahi ki hai ke wafaqi taraqqiyati budget ab bhi taqreeban Rs1 trillion hai, jo ismi lihaz se taqreeban utna hi hai jitna 2017-18 mein tha, jab yeh wafaqi budget ka 19.6% tha. Un ka kehna tha ke agar yeh hissa barqarar rakha jata toh aaj yeh Rs3 trillion se tajawuz kar chuka hota.
April-June ki sehmahi mein numu ki sharah kam ho kar 2% reh gayi, jo taqreeban 2.6% ki abadi mein izafe ki sharah se kam hai. World Bank ne haal hi mein andaza lagaya tha ke Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan aur Pakistan ke khitte ke ghareeb tareen logon mein se har do mein se aik Pakistan mein rehta hai.
