Opposition parties reject Prime Minister Imran Khan’s relief package
Shehbaz Sharif says IMF's conditions had badly affected the nation.
The opposition parties have rejected the Prime Minister Imran Khan’s relief package announced on Wednesday.
Yesterday, the prime minister addressed the nation and announced the relief package. He said that the package is being introduced for 20 million families, which will- in turn- benefit 130 million Pakistanis. He said that the 20 million families will get 30 per cent subsidy on ghee, wheat and lentils for six months.
Opposition leaders have expressed a strong reaction to the relief package announced by the prime minister.
PML-N President and opposition leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif said in his statement:” While presenting the budget was not declared it a tax-free budget?” Now it is being admitted to the nation that petrol prices will further go up.” When petrol, gas and electricity get more expensive, why there will be no inflation?
