Non-filers, Imran Khan?s ATMs benefitted from mini-budget, says Bilawal

"This is a selected government with a selected prime minister and selected ministers,” Bilawal said, taking a swipe at the PTI government which is facing allegations of vote fraud, a charge its denies. Commenting on the mini-budget recently presented by Finance Minister Asad Umar, Bilawal Bhutto said it was anti-poor. “PTI had promised to make the life of a common man easier after coming into power. But in reality injustice has been done with the poor through the budget,” he noted. “The budget only benefits non-filers and Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ATMs,” he claimed."I thought Finance Minister Asad Umar will introduce a friendly budget but it only provided relief to non-filers and will increase unemployment," he asserted.Bilawal also regretted that the increase in gas and electricity prices was adversely affecting the poor.
