Commenting over the next budget, opposition leader said that the budget should be presented at least four months before the end of tenure of any government as PPP has presented the budget because it has six months more before end of tenure.
Responding a query over Ch Nisar’s defection to PTI, Shah said that he did not believe Nisar will join PTI.
