LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has termed the passage of the federal budget from the parliament as a success of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and not of the government.
Giving his reaction on the budget approval, the JI chief said that the federal budget 2020-21 was acceptable to the government but unacceptable to 220 million people of Pakistan.
The government has dropped a bombshell of inflation over the masses by using unrealistic economic indicators. Masses will plunge into the tsunami of inflation and unemployment after the passage of the budget, Sirajul Haq feared.
The budget has nothing for the masses except for worries. 40 per cent of the GDP will go in payment of loan interests. Education, health and development has been ignored, he added.
