Karachi:Barrister Murtaza Wahab, Spokesperson of Sindh Government, reacted to the federal government’s cut in Sindh’s financial share, calling it unconstitutional.
He said that the claims of the federal government were one thing and the work was another. The PTI’s federal government is only acting on claims. He said that under NFC, financial resources are distributed to the provinces every month. Under the constitutional procedure, financial resources are distributed among the provinces. PTI claims that they had improved the economy. He said the federal government was claiming to meet revenue targets in July. The federal government said that it received more revenue than the target in July and if this claim of the federal government was true, then why was the financial share of Sindh reduced by Rs 63 billion despite the revenue?
He further said that Sindh had received less than Rs 28 billion from the federation in the month of July alone. The Sindh government spokesman asked how the expenses would be met if the financial share of the provincial government was cut every month.
How will the provincial government achieve its development goals? He said that the federal government needed to do house in order and if the federal government had improved the economy, then the effects of this claim should also be seen. “The federal government is incompetent or has no intention of working. We leave the decision to the people,” he concluded.
