Lahore:
Ji chief Hafiz Naeem has strongly rejected the federal budget and branding it a “pro-elite document” that aggravates poverty, inflation and inequality.
He approached a press conference and said the government has failed to relieve the ordinary man and instead choose to favor the ruling class and privileged social segments.
“The budget is introducing a heavy tax burden for the employee and middle -income groups, while offering no meaningful concessions or structural reforms,” he said.
He called allegations of poverty reduction by the government as “delusional” and “as opposed to the realities of the earth,” and noted that over 110 million Pakistanis continue to live below the poverty line.
