The people of Pakistan, especially the youth, want to live a peaceful and gracious life in their own country but peace and tranquility in this country is far from being available even common people are deprived of basic facilities. On the one hand, there is rising inflation and unemployment while on the other hand, individual economic activities are halted due to hour-long outages of electricity and gas. In such dire circumstances, many people are willing to leave the country in search of employment to better their families’ lives along with making their own lives easier. For this, they want to obtain visas and permits abroad by any means or tactic possible. If they are unable to cross the border legally, they intend to do so illegally, risking their lives by lying and hanging on the bottoms of containers, boats and trucks while paying huge sums of money.

Unfortunately, Pakistani youth are being forced to risk their lives and property to leave the country unwillingly but the ruling elite of this country does not care nor take any steps to remedy it. According to Bureau of Immigration statistics, a total of 862,625 Pakistanis have sought employment in more than 50 countries across the globe as of December 2023, ranking first among the 10 most visited countries is Saudi Arabia........
