The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government on Friday unveiled Rs 8.4 trillion pro-growth and relief-oriented federal budget for the fiscal year 2021-22, with focus on pursuing all-inclusive, sustained and robust economic growth through comprehensive planning and development.
The budgetary proposals were presented by Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin in the National Assembly, amid jeers from the opposition benches who shouted slogans and taunted the minister by laughing loudly as he praised Prime Minister Imran Khan’s economic initiatives.
However, aided by a pair of earphones which allowed him to drown out the ruckus around him, Tarin continued his budget speech for almost four hours.
