Beggars on the rise in Ramazan
Islamabad
April 25, 2021
Every Ramazan we can see beggars all over the city streets knocking on every door; typically, they roam busy wagon stations, malls, and restaurants. Begging has become a career in Rawalpindi, so you are not sure whether a beggar really needs help or not; some beggars became rich through begging, and they prefer to continue begging and create new ways to deceive people.
“Begging has become an alternative profession, a way of making money. However, this is not to say that not every beggar deserves it. These kinds of beggars usurp the rights of the real poor people as donors do not trust any beggar at all and they don’t give any of them, money because it is hard to differentiate them,” says Rajab Ali.
