Bilawal says won't accept ‘anti-people’ budget

On Tuesday, Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari stated that the government is trying to distract the masses from rising inflation by arresting political opponents in the name of accountability. Talking to the journalists, he said the opposition resorted to protest during Minister of State for Revenue Hammad Azhar’s budget speech in the lower house after realising that masses are being burdened with more taxes. He also announced that they will not accept the anti-people budget. Expressing displeasure over what he described as an ‘anti-people’ budget, the PPP chairman on Tuesday said they would try their best that it does not get passed by the National Assembly. Bilawal said the recent arrests of the elected representatives were made in a bid to divert attention from the ‘anti-people’ budget.
