The recent hike in the prices of life saving drugs has provoked fury among all circles of society. The government had come to power on the slogans of Roti, Kapra and Makan but the recent enormous increase in the prices of drugs has exposed the rulers. Government in connivance with the pharma association has jacked up the prices beyond the reach of common man and even the citizens and chemists have not been taken into confidence while giving free hand to the pharmacists to scale up the prices at their sweet will, said a group of citizens.
Rulers should fear from the wrath of God and withdraw the recent hike of 300 percent in the prices of drugs otherwise we will come on the roads, said office bearers of social society. “I am a daily wager employee and I have to purchase a medicine for my son but its price has spiraled out of my reach. I can not buy it now. Should I leave my son to die due to tyrannical surge in the prices of medicines by the government”, he said while tears rolling down from his face. Social and religious circles demanded for immediate withdrawal of hike in the prices of drugs otherwise they will resort to the court of law.
