  1. This increase is unjustified and in the whole world and particularly the relations with India are normal and this increase is not reasonable and extra figures spend on defence must be utilised to shorten the problems of common man ratherthan to feed bigs.There must be Rs.425/billion must be kept and allocated under the head of defence budget of 2013-14

  2. It is injustice to the masses because they are being deprived of their fundamental rights but the defence budget is being increased for vested intrests. Kindly take pity on this nation.

  3. Unjustified raise….hamari army election wale din tau hee……..
    People are not safe within biggest city Karachi….bus paise daitey raho

  4. I believe the raise in budget is absolutely justified our army is defending our country day and night we have so many external threats from the countries like India and USA . We can't just afford to put our country at risk by decreasing defense budget. it must be increased significantly every year to keep enemies away from our beloved country Pakistan.

    • Dude u should invest on your raliways,lollywood,education,industry & infrastructure first..
      u dint made any indigenous railway engine yet. bro india dint attack first on u ever. u initiate every time & lost all your wars. and u will never win the war with India in future also.. we also want pak would be develop its various sector and consider to grow its infrastructure.. dont think negative about india.. india thought positively and developed its infrastructure and other sector so all world watching toward India. every country want to trade with us and good relation also.. so why u deny that we wud cooperate with each other.. u considered only in Kashmir and lost all available possibilities. first u take advantage from your resources and when u ;wud developed ur nation then u should take Kashmir on priorities. now u shud make image of ur countries infront of all world.
      if u lost this time u will be remain behind all countries and also with afganistan after 10 years. u should make friendly relation with all the world then u will not need to increase ur defence budget, and u can consider on other sector which u really need to improve.
