Imran Khan summons Punjab CM Usman Buzdar over MPAs' salary increase.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan has summoned Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar over increment in the salaries of the members of the assembly, sources revealed on Monday.
The premier will discuss the matter along with other political affairs of the province with the chief minister in Islamabad.
It has also been learnt that Imran Khan and Usman Buzdar will deliberate over Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PMLN) demands regarding incarcerated former premier Nawaz Sharif’s treatment.
Earlier, Imran Khan had expressed dismay after the Punjab Assembly unanimously approved a bill seeking increment in salaries of MPAs, ministers and chief minister.
He took to Twitter and stated, "I am extremely disappointed by decision of Punjab Assembly to raise pays and privileges of MPAs, ministers and especially CM."
"Once prosperity returns to Pakistan such a love could be justified, but now, when we do not have resources to provide basic amenities to all our people, this is untenable," he added.
