It is also worth noting that the 28–29% poverty rate is not calculated using the updated $3/day international poverty line. Under that threshold, estimates suggest extreme poverty could exceed 16%, meaning roughly 39–40 million Pakistanis living in extreme deprivation.

These numbers demand seriousness — not Twitter theatrics.
