F.P. Report
LAHORE: Punjab Minister for Information and Culture Syed Samsam Ali Bukhari said that despite the economic distress Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) led Punjab government will present a poor-friendly budget for upcoming fiscal year.
Bukhari said that Punjab government does not believe in unnecessary projection of its achievements unlike the previous PML-N government.
The new local government system would bring a positive change in the province, expressing the resolve to turn Pakistan into a true Islamic state on the model of the state of Madina, he hoped.
He said there is a heap of problems which will take time to be resolved, adding the government is trying to weed out corruption and other social ills in the country.
The federal budget for Financial Year 2019-20 is likely to be announced in the first or second week of June.
There is likelihood that the PTI would present its first formal federal budget in first or second week of June in National Assembly. Adviser to Prime Minister on Finance and Revenue Affairs Dr Hafeez Shaikh will present federal budget in the National Assembly.
