Express June 28, 2010

Proceedings in the Khyber Pakhtunkhawa Assembly took an interesting turn on Monday after the proposal of imposing tax on the birth of more than two children.

The proposal was made by PML-N MPA Javed Abbassi, who said that a tax should be imposed on assembly members and secretaries who have more than two children.

JUI's Mufti Kifayat ullah termed the proposal as anti-Islamic and senior Provincial Minister Bashir Bilour argued that legislation is needed to impose such tax. He said that such legislation exists in China to control the population.
