Pervaiz Elahi slams govt for taxing people every other day

Members of the Punjab Assembly (MPAs), belonging to the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), met with Speaker Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi on Tuesday and discussed with him the prevailing political and economic situation of the country, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.  

Speaking on the occasion, Chaudhry Pervaiz said it was unfortunate that the present government, instead of providing relief to the people, was burdening them with taxes. “Their ‘competence’ has ruined the country’s economy,” he said satirically. 

He further said it was sad that inflation was rising with each passing day under the imported government. “Sometimes, they increase the petrol price and sometimes gas and electricity prices,” he said, adding that the situation had come to such a pass that today the people could not even purchase kitchen items.

PA speaker expressed the hope that masses would avenge these cruelties through their vote.
