visited a shelter home in #Islamabad. Admire the work of the staff, but sad to see so many ppl cannot afford meals. Shared potato-egg curry with some of the homeless & listened their moving stories. How can one support a family of 6-8 with 400rs income per-day? pic.twitter.com/HcKKdJ2q4m

Shelter Home was a good initiative of the government, he admired the work of the staff, but said he was sad to see that so many people lacked the means to afford food.
Kobler questioned how people with income as low as Rs. 400 a day could support a family of 6-8 persons.
