‘Jab paal nahi sakte tou paida kyoun karte ho?’: Iqra Aziz reflects on child labour
Pakistani actress Iqra Aziz Hussain has reflected on a horrendous reality which should be acknowledged and sorted, because it is high time that child lobar is thoroughly recognised and talked upon. This phenomenon needs to come to an end. Don’t you think?
During the span of the video reposted by Iqra Aziz over her Instagram handle, one can see young children carrying out difficult labor tasks which seem too horrible a job for young souls and the video is heart wrenching to watch.
For the caption of the post, Iqra Aziz has stated: “This is heartbreaking. If we just understand the true meaning of this line from Bol: “Jab Pal Nahi Sakte Tou Paida Kyoun Karte Ho.”
Here are the exact words uttered during the span of the video: “Before the sun wakes she is already there, fire at her fingers dust in her hair no pencil no books just chemicals in dark, a child carrying burdens too heavy for her heart, she works beside her mother just to eat. Tell me is this the childhood she deserves?"
At an age when children should be handled with the right tools such as education and proper upbringing, they are lured into child labor, these young souls do not deserve this. This is 2026, and as Iqra Aziz states, if you can not bring up your child properly, why bring them into the world?
