Punjab caretaker government will announce the budget for the fiscal year 2023-24 on Monday, Aaj News reported.

As per reports, the interim government will present a four-month Punjab budget for 2023-24 on June 19 in a news conference.

The focus of the budget would be extending relief to the people and completing ongoing development projects.

Last week, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had directed the Punjab caretaker government to provide relief to the people in the budget 2023-24.

The PM said this while chairing a meeting at Model Town, also attended by CM Mohsin Naqvi. PM Shehbaz also directed the provincial government to complete development projects in the province as soon as possible.

The Punjab chief secretary, Planning and Development (P&D) secretary, and agriculture secretary among others attended the meeting.

Moreover, PM Shehbaz Sharif has said that despite constraints imposed by domestic and global circumstances, budget 2023-24 promises to turn things around and has outlined a clear path for this purpose.

Shehbaz Sharif said while experts are analyzing the various facets of budget 2023-24, he considers it important to highlight the special emphasis the government has placed on the growth-inducing sectors in the budget.

It’s illegal for a caretaker government to announce a budget as it has no elected representatives to pass that Budget. This goes for both KP and Punjab.

Would this be legal and according to the Constitution ? ..... looks like the Constitution or the Supreme Court are irrelevant. This situation is fighting.

It’s illegal and unconstitutional but does anyone care in this banana republic. The Finance minister is a money launderer, he laundered for the Sharifs and Zardari. The Prime minister was wanted for corruption, subsequently laws were changed to facilitate corruption Argus no arrest made.
