Budget 2016-17 is more likely to bring more bad news than good news for Pakistanis as prices of cosmetics, mobile phones, and electronic items will go up.
Meanwhile, Federal Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has said the decision to increase salaries of the government employees will be taken by the committee concerned. Replying to another question, the minister said all arrangements have been finalised for a fresh census.
He said it was postponed in the light of the decision of Council of Common Interests till the completion of operation Zarb-e-Azb.
