All set: MQM to unveil shadow budget

Budget would provide an opportunity to masses for counter-checking and comparative analysis of statistics


May 26, 2012

ISLAMABAD: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) is likely to present a shadow budget on Sunday, ahead of the federal budget prepared by the government for the fiscal year 2012-13. In contradiction to a set tradition in developed countries, the proposed shadow budget will not focus on exposing the shortcomings, mismanagement, hollow slogans, unfulfilling commitments and false promises, but it would provide an opportunity to masses for counter-checking and comparative analysis of statistics and figures laid down budget to be presented by the federal government for next fiscal year, said an MQM official.

Dears, AOA

No doubt MQM contributed a vital role towards good governance to PPP. MQM is a people friendly movement, who alwasy opposes and dis courage the negative issues of govt. and I know being in the govt. these are the difficult decisions, but MQM role is very best.

I do not belong to MQM but thinks that this movement shoud be given a chance to perform for the country.
