Letter To The Editor: Anti-Youth Budget

Anti-Youth Budget
The Frontier Post
14/06/2013

Federal finance minister Ishaq Dar has unfolded budget in the National Assembly for the fiscal year 2013-14. In his parliamentary speech he said that PML-N is working hard to take the nation out of economic and energy crisis. 
No doubt, the budgetary speech was appealing and nation friendly to some extent but it is also bitter reality that not a single buck has been reserved to provide governmental jobs to millions of educated Pakistanis. 
Providing ten thousands rupees under the given age criteria is neither youth familiar nor in the interest of millions of post-graduate degree holders. It is needless to mention that oppressed youth speedily reacted on social media after the official announcement of budget. People held the opinion on social media that we have been made beggar again. 
One person wrote on his facebook wall that “In Europe Master degree holders are provided jobs while in Pakistan they are offered ten thousand rupees provided that they are less than 25 years old. It has been learnt after evaluating a number of TV discussions that unless new jobs are not created, the said amount for youth will never bring revolutionary changes. Contrary to this, billions of rupees have been allocated for providing laptops to registered university students. 
Why private degree holders have always been neglected. Those who do not afford to get themselves registered in universities for regular studies are always dealt with iron hand. Who is responsible of their fate , state , parents or society?
