Rashid Mehmood has been quite vocal about inflation during these PML-N years. Now, he has once again opened up about inflation amid being jobless at an older age.
Talking about it, Rashid Mehmood said, “For the past five months, I have been suffering from joint pain. I was already a heart patient. I have had no work for months. We are of no use; we are the ones who invented the television industry. We told the subcontinent what drama is. We remain connected to our values. I am in so much pain and am deprived of work. I only know this job. Yes, I have been awarded the Presidential Award. People made me a star, and Allah gave me rizq, but I am jobless. I hardly drive. The inflation is unbearable for me. Today, I had to put oil in my car for 4,000 rupees. All the grocery items are super expensive. We get the cylinders filled; everything is unreachable. Government, you are here to ease the nation. You are using the nation for your gains. We are sick people who are at your mercy. Please have some shame. You are inventing new ideas of robbing the public, but you will see one day; you will be held accountable.” Here is the link to the video:
