When I asked the reason he told that first heap was of Pakistani vegetables, and second of imported. My question was from which country did you import these? He replied: From India. Indian vegetables were of higher prices. After knowing it I was astonished that Pakistan is a agrarian country, then why we are importing fruits and vegetables from India? A country who is our foe since our inception.

While I was standing there that another man came and bought only Indian vegetables. While he was buying, I asked from him, "why are you buying vegetables imported from our worst enemy?" His reply was, "today I'll cook imported curry." While neglecting me he bought and went away. How silly we are that while neglecting our local products, we buy imported, and specially imported from India.

Vegetables, fruits, biscuits, cosmetics, even almost everything with higher price, imported from India is available in the market which we prefer over our indigenous products.

I have decided that I'll prefer to be hungry instead of buying any Indian product. Indians buy arms and ammunition with the profit earned from importing goods, and use those against us. In the contemporary world most countries wage economical war and India is trying her best to win this economical war. We only civilians can struggle to win this.
