Pakistan/uk relationship is long standing.
If uk wants to help the masses of pakistan she should be looking for the uplift of people in the lower class as middle class no more in existance. Pakistan today is in the state of have and have not devide.
People of have/upper class hold power and wealth. While people of
Have not/lower class live day to day life in uncertanity.
There is urgent need for support in the fields of health, education and work by involving people in the lower class.
