Opposition benches in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly rejected the provincial government's fiscal budget and termed it anti-poor and a jugglery of words. Criticizing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led provincial government for making a meager increase of mere 10 percent in salaries of the government employees and making 20 percent increase in salaries of own ministers was quite injustice and beyond logic.
Opposition leader in the provincial assembly and JUI-F MPA Maulana Lutfur Rahman said the budget presented by the provincial government said that the government was failed to give any relief to the poor segment despite tall claims for change and cheap justice, they termed the provincial budget as a budget for district Nowshera.
After the budget speech, talking to media persons outside the assembly building the opposition parties leaders including Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP) lawmaker Nighat Orakzai, Awami National Party (ANP) parliamentary leader Sardar Hussain Babak said that said that the government once again failed to give relief to the militancy affected and excessive load-shedding stricken poor people of the province, adding as the government last year too made big claims but even then about 90 percent developmental budget was lapsed and no pro-masses projected was initiated. They added that neither the incumbent did introduced uniform education system in the province nor did provided easy and cheap justice to poor people despite of given it mandate in the last elections for the purpose. The PTI-led government trying to deceive the masses by presenting incorrect statistic but they wouldn't be succeeded in it, as masses know the real faces of the rulers, they maintained.
