PPP Deputy Parliamentary Party leader in the Punjab Assembly Shoukat Mehmud Basra while rejecting the Punjab budget dubbed it as farce and a bid to hoodwink masses.
Talking to APP on Sunday, he said, budget did not provide relief to the poverty-stricken people while 20 % raise in salaries of government employees was a peanut in the sky rocketing price hike. “The provincial budget has totally ignored commonman,” he said and demanded the provision of subsidy on consumer goods. “Had the Punjab government allocated Rs 10 billion every year, the province will not have been experiencing worst energy crisis today,” Basra said. He said, Shahbaz Sahrif led Punjab government had been deceiving poor people by making false promises for the last four years while the people of the province had great expectations from the government in its budget.
