Islamabad: (Friday, June 01, 2012) Dr Farooq Sattar, the parliamentary leader of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) in National Assembly, who also enjoys the status of a federal minister, termed the budget as ‘ordinary’ and stressed
upon the need for it to be made extra ordinary.
Talking to the journalists after the budget session, Dr Farooq said that if the shadow budget prepared and presented by the MQM was implemented, it could have provided more relief to the masses.
He further said that Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had assured him of considering the budget proposals forwarded by the MQM and to incorporate them in this year’s budget.
MQM leader was of the view that there was need to impose direct taxes upon the income of feudal lords besides improving the production and availability of oil and electricity and making them more affordable by bringing their prices
lower.
He concluded his remarks by saying that the economic condition of the country was on the verge of collapse.
