Finance Minister Tarin challenges Ex-PM Abbasi to debate

LAHORE (92 News) - Federal Minister for Finance Shaukat Tarin has challenged former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to have a debate with him over the federal budget 2021-22.

In a special talk with 92 News program "Ho Kya Raha Hai" with Arif Nizami and Faisal Abbasi, the finance minister said that there may be flaws in the federal budget but he did not tell a lie in his budget speech.

"Look at the budget of 12 years ago, did it talk about houses for millions of people? Did you talk about interest free loans for agriculture and small business? The opposition has been confused because they know that for the first time a government has come to eradicate poverty."
