Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday affirmed the government’s commitment to contribute to the development of all provinces.
He made the remarks on the floor of the National Assembly on Saturday, a day after the federal budget for FY27 was proposed.
He began his speech by noting that he would not give a “detailed response” to the criticism voiced by Opposition Leader Mehmood Khan Achakzai at the moment, but at an “appropriate time”.
After the NA proceedings began at 11am, Achakzai had spoken mostly on the country’s law and order situation. He had also criticised the government’s decision to freeze the development allocations for the provinces, contending that it would hit their health and social sectors.
