The political atmosphere of the country is tense due to inter­nal quarrels between political parties. There is no clear econom­ic policy, giving rise to inflation, and the common man is suffering from unemployment and financial problems. The price of edible goods has doubled in the past six months, and a middle-class person can’t even afford flour and oil. The dollar price is increasing, creating a class difference where the poor are get­ting poorer. There is a dire need to bring in foreign investment and develop local industries such as the steel mill.
