LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on Friday congratulated Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his team on presenting the fifth federal budget, describing it as a relief-oriented package aimed at extending the benefits of economic recovery to the common man.

The CM paid tribute to the PM and his economic team for introducing what she termed a welfare budget, saying the time had come for the dividends of economic improvement to reach ordinary citizens.

The CM Punjab said the budget would ease the burden on the salaried class and pave the way for greater public relief through industrial and agricultural growth.

“The welfare-oriented budget will ensure that every segment of society becomes part of the country’s economic progress,” she added in a statement.
