Incumbent government has become a threat to national security: Shehbaz
LAHORE (Dunya News) – President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Mian Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday said that joint opposition will formulate a strategy to opposition the government’s mini-budget.
Shehbaz Sharif, in a statement, said that passage of mini-budget from the National Assembly is synonymous to a national suicide. Tsunami of ‘tabdeli’ has swallowed economy, jobs and happiness of the public, he added.
Opposition Leader of National Assembly further said that incumbent government has become a threat to national security.
On the other hand, Pakistan Peoples Party has rejected the mini-budget and Sherry Rehman said that after increase in petroleum levy and sales tax everything will become more expensive.
Sherry Rehman, in a tweet, said that how can government claim that increase in these taxes will not impact prices of daily use items. PPP rejects this mini-budget of government and International Monetary Fund (IMF), she added.
The PPP leader further said that government is going to impose 17 percent GST on several items which will increase inflation and put additional burden on already suffering people.
