PPP’s Syed Khursheed Shah raises concerns over federal budget

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senior leader Syed Khursheed Shah has raised concerns on Sunday over the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) strategy for preparing the federal budget.

Shah voiced concern that PML-N didn’t invite PPP for engagement and dialogue on the budget.
“What kind of proposals? What kind of budget? The government did not say anything, nor did they take PPP into confidence,” said the senior politician.
Shah was also unaware of the allocation of resources to the provinces, and demanded transparency in the privatization process.

“I don’t know which province is getting what share in giving relief to the people,” he said.

The former opposition leader stressed that, “PPP has shared the entire burden of the government and was also worried about the accountability the party will face due to the federal budget.

“The public will ask us what has been done, what we will answer,” Khursheed Shah questioned.
