Sirajul Haq asks Ishaq Dar to present interest-free budget
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Emir Sirajul Haq on Wednesday said that those whose salary was less than Rs100,000 should be exempted from tax.
Addressing the pre-budget seminar organised by the JI, Mr Haq said corruption worth Rs7 billion was being committed every day.
Mr Haq was of the view that the incumbent government should devise such a system in the upcoming budget that would eliminate the corruption from the country.
"Our government does not consult businessmen, farmers, factories, or workers at the time of budget," he said.
Mr Haq advised Finance Minister Ishaq Dar to present an interest-free budget in line with the Federal Shariat Court (FSC).
