We now know who is enemy of Pakistan. Loss incurring R. 1 trillion SOEs are for pleasure of the royal servants. Cries of women, children n citizens are ignored/shaping into human crises. Criminal!

"Whether these expenses approved by the Assembly should be published for the complete satisfaction of the poor people of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Just reading this fills me with fear."

Are these parliamentarians elected by the innocent people of Pakistan solely to approve bills for their extravagant luxuries?

It is the duty of the MPs and MNAs seeking re-election to visit the communities where they received votes from the innocent people.

India Economy is more stronger than Pakistan and the Inflation rate in India is only 4.38 % for the year 2023 when the inflation rate of Pakistan would be around 25% by end of this Financial year (End of 30 Jun 2024). Based on the above facts , the Higher tax rate for salaried class in Pakistan should be less than Indian BUT the sinereo is completely different and the tax rate in Pakistan is 5% more than India (Higher tax rate in India is 30%) ALSO India has 6 salary slabs as compare to 5 slabs in Pakistan and the difference one tax slab to another is ONLY 5% to protect the middle class. I would like to request to Government of Pakistan to revisit the propose tax rate and protect the salary class for retain the talent in Pakistan.

If you closed all the government Ministries and Departments for 6 months probably no one would notice. Most of them don't do very much anyway.
