Karachi—The poverty in the country was not just
about money, it was about access to power and it
was deprivation not only in economic terms, but
deprivation at social and political level as
well. Former bureaucrat, Tasneem Ahmed
Siddiqui said this while addressing as guest
speaker at the meeting of Shura Hamdard Karachi
chapter. He said it could not be measured in
terms of calories intake alone. In broader sense
it also meant lack of equal opportunities to
better life. The many deprivations poor people
faced made them extremely vulnerable and they
are forced to lead a life of dependency facing
exploitation at every step, he added. In the

growth was 6.5 per cent but poor remained poor
and rich became richer.
