Punjab Minister Law, Parliamentary Affairs and Local Government Minister Raja Basharat have said that the flopped strike by certain pro-opposition traders has exposed that the Opposition has lost grounds while the public at large has shown their trust in the government policies.
He was commenting on the Saturday's strike called on by the trade organizations against recent taxes imposed by the government. The Minister said the failure was a success of the PTI-lead government as they expressed their trust in its determination to strengthen the national economy badly marred by the former two governments.
He said, "We appreciate the patriotic and sincere traders who rejected the call and supported the government for a noble cause. It shows that the nation has rose up to the call of PM Imran Khan who is struggling to revive the dead economy by focusing on austerity and expanding tax network."
According to him, the citizens are fully aware of the fact that the present price hike is an upshot of huge corruption carried out by both parties in last 10 years. In the developed countries, all citizens pay taxes responsibly for which the government provides best civic facilities to them, but in Pakistan, certain rich persons try to evade taxes and thus put the whole burden on the shoulders of small number of tax payers. "We honour those citizens and traders who pay their taxes honestly and help the government..."
