KARACHI: Two members from each side of the house spoke on Monday during a debate aimed at registering their proposals for the next financial year’s budget of the provincial government.
However, the lawmakers instead of forwarding their respective proposals indulged mainly in levelling allegations and counter-allegations and passing controversial remarks against each other.
Arsalan Taj Ghumman of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, who opened the pre-budget discussion, came down heavily on the Pakistan Peoples Party’s provincial government saying it could only achieve 30 per cent of its revenue target while the federal government achieved 42pc of its target.
“It is quite amazing that the Sindh government’s revenue is getting decreased but its expenditures are getting increased,” he said.
