  "account": "The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party announced plans to hold a public rally in Karachi on September 6, criticizing the country's two-tier system that provides different standards of education, healthcare and justice for the rich and poor. At a news conference at Insaf House, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja expressed deep sorrow over the deaths of 14 newborns at the PIMS hospital in Islamabad, questioning whether the nation had learned from previous institutional failures. Raja emphasized that merely identifying where the system had faltered was insufficient and called for comprehensive reforms to ensure state institutions served ordinary citizens. He pointed out that the country had imposed two systems, one for the affluent and another for the impoverished, denying the latter access to quality education and healthcare facilities available to wealthier families. Raja recalled that government schools had been relatively effective until the 1980s, when children from diverse social classes studied together. However, he lamented that the subsequent expansion of expensive English-medium schools had exacerbated the education gap.",
