MQM Member National Assembly Abdul Qadir Khanzada has said MQM wanted that all sources of income including the agricultural should be taxed.
Khanzada told radio Pakistan that the revenue target will not be achieved if the tax on the income of big landlords is not imposed.
He said more funds will have to be allocated to overcome the energy crisis in the country, adding
agricultural tax could also be collected by the government.
He maintained that big landlords and agriculturalists are benefiting from the subsidy given on wheat in the agricultural sector and poor, small and subsistence land holders are being deprived.
Qadir said democracy is not a fragile thread which will break due to the opposition’s protest but opposition should protest keeping in view the limits and decorum of the parliament.
