Senator Abdul Haseeb Khan has said the only option remains for Pakistan to flourish is to fulfil the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah in letters and spirit. He was speaking at the launching ceremony of his book "Pakistan Kay Hakim" (Rulers of Pakistan). He said that without naming any ruler he has narrated all the good and bad activities of rulers, which occurred in last 60 years of Pakistan.
He said that unfortunately the vision of Quaid-e-Azam was put in back burner and only personal agendas for loot and plunders was unleashed which has shaken the very existence and motivation of the objectives for the creation of Pakistan.
Khan said that transgression of the rulers has divided the country into two but they have no tears in their eyes. He said that Pakistan was created for Muslim to have their homeland and live with peace and tranquillity but the acts of our rulers have created animosity among the masses.
Leader of business community and former President FPCCI, S M Munir has emphasised the need that the government must keep zero rated sectors far from Reformed General Sales Tax (RGST). He said that the postponement of implication of RGST for one month is a blessing in disguise and added that it provided time to interact with authorities to convey them point of view of business community.
Referring to refund of GST, he said that the chairman Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has hinted that GST will be refunded in just 24 hours under reformed GST system. Munir noted that claims of huge amount of business community has already piled up with FBR and in spite of several promises of releasing it remains with the FBR.-PR
