Islamabad: Bilawal has suggested the government to allow provinces to collect General Sales Tax and withdraw 18 percent tax on milk while he said that the NAB and the Pakistan economy can’t run together.
Participating in the NA debate over the budget , the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari emphasized on consensus and Charter of Economy to address the economic problems of the country.
He said this warrants deliberations amongst all the political parties including those sitting on the treasury and opposition benches.
He said the allied and opposition parties should also be taken on board on the budget and the PSDP.
He believed that it would have been much better if the government had consulted with allied and opposition parties before preparing the budget.
“We know the difficulties of the government; if the consultation had been held, the outcome would have been much better,” he added.
The chairman said that the people of the country were not concerned with the problems of political parties, adding they wanted solutions to their own problems.
He said that foolish act of imposing 18 percent tax on milk is not a decision of any politician but it is a decision of any bureaucrat.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari appreciated the government’s efforts for bringing down the inflation as well as increasing the volume of Benazir Income Support Program by twenty seven percent in the budget.
He said the BISP is being replicated in the world. He said this program should be provided with constitutional cover so that nobody could reverse it.
He said this is the only tool which provided relief to the people in difficult times including the floods.
