KARACHI: Sindh ministers on Sunday said that the provincial budget for the fiscal year 2020-21 was the most people-friendly compared to the budgets presented by the Centre and other provinces.
He maintained that the health sector had been given priority in the Sindh budget and billions of rupees allocated under the People’s Support Programme, especially for those affected by the pandemic.Criticising the recent MQM-P’s sit-in outside the Sindh Assembly, the information minister said such a protest was beyond comprehension.
Shah lamented that when petrol was cheap, it was not available to the public. There had been no precedent in the past regarding the way people were searching for cheap petrol, he remarked. He clarified that if there was a severe need, vehicles would be procured for the personnel working in the field or for dealing with an emergency like the locust attacks. Every decision of the Supreme Court would be implemented and the Sindh government had no plans to buy luxury vehicles in this budget anyway, he stated.Ghani said no government in the country other than the Sindh government had increased the salaries of workers and government employees in the new budget.
He went on to say that the MQM-P was equally responsible for the dismissal of 9,300 employees of Pakistan Steel Mills. Replying to another question, Ghani said no new scheme had been included in the budget this year except in the field of health.
