How can I figure out this sentece's structure?
This is a part of the article from TIME magazine.
"Pakistan's implicit stance on provoking India says it all on its denial to uplift its citizens from poverty first, while India has declared an all-out war against its own abject poverty."
I think, from the beginning to before "says" is the subject, but after "says", I couldn't figure out how to understand that part.
Could you tell me, please?
