Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Saturday said the next government can amend the budget 2018-19 presented by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). The premier inaugurated Gas Processing Facility at Kunnar oil and gas field in Tando Jam in Hyderabad. Addressing the ceremony, PM Abbasi said PML-N government presented a "people-friendly budget" and had proven they worked for the benefit of the people and not themselves.
He said besides giving relief to different segments of the society, tax burden had been halved by bringing the maximum tax from 35 percent to just 15 percent. "PML-N also spoke about solving the country's problems and will work for the people till its last day," PM Abbasi said. The premier further said that despite challenges, the government was completing its term, realised its targets and put Pakistan on the road to progress.
He pointed out the issues could only be resolved by ensuring continuity of democracy and that PML-N fulfilled all the promises made to the nation. Not only already under-constructed projects were completed but new development plans were also devised, he added.
The PM said despite challenges the government was completing its term, realized its targets and put Pakistan on road to progress. He said credit went to PML- N to take concrete measures for utilization of Thar coal and Riko Diko gold and copper deposits besides exploiting hydropower potential of KPK and Azad Kashmir.
Taking a dig at the opposition, PM Abbasi said, "Development does not take place by giving false promises and hurling abuses. The work done by PML-N during its tenure is in front of the nation." Regarding the upcoming general elections, PM Abbasi told the crowd, "In July, you have to decide whether you will support those who developed the country or someone else." Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb and Sindh Governor Mohammad Zubair were also present on the occasion.
