Punjab Finance Minister Mujtaba Shuja-ur-Rehman, while speaking to Dunya News, confirmed the change and said that the government is working around the clock to put together a public-friendly, tax-free budget.
“We’re not going to slap any new taxes on the people,” the minister said. “We just need a few more days to get things in order and make sure everything is thoroughly prepared.”
