The budget of the Sindh government is increasing, but the condition of the province is getting worse. Failure is also evident in the health and education sector. The budget copy was also not given on time in the assembly.

Rebirth | 5 months ago | Reply They ve been elected at the federal level to bypass the PPP and get the required funds for Karachi that the people Karachi contributed to begin with. 60 of the federal revenue and 95 of the provincial revenue all comes from Karachi. They must make sure to get their fair share including for the government jobs that the Sindh government devotes 50 of the budget for.
