There are no opportunities for those people, they will only collect money and the rich will enjoy. In this budget, education-health-social protection has been given little allocation, but the allocation has increased in the public administration and defense sectors.

They also said that the horrors of corruption that have emerged, including the murder of Aziz-Benazir-Anna, are very dangerous. However, corruption is being further encouraged by keeping black money white in the budget proposal. 30 percent tax on legitimate income and 15 percent tax on black money. As a result, corruption and inequality will increase in the society.
They demanded immediate withdrawal of this anti-people budget from the assembly.
