While taking a dig at the seriousness of the people part of the federal government, Fawad shared that the finance minister was holding a post-budget press conference and the information minister continuously kept playing a video game on her phone.

یہ حکومت کتنے سنجیدہ لوگوں پر مشتمل ہے اس کا اندازہ اس سے لگا لیں کہ وزیر خزانہ پوسٹ بجٹ پریس کانفرنس کر رہے ہیں اور وزیر اطلاعات ان کے ساتھ بیٹھ کر مسلسل فون پر ویڈیو گیم کھیل رہی ہیں، 🙄🙄

Finance Minister Miftah Ismail on Saturday said that there is no choice for the government other than going out for difficult decisions.

Speaking during the post-budget presser while flanked by State Minister of Finance Aisha Ghous Pasha and Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, the finance minister said that the nation and history would not forgive them if Pakistan faces a Sri Lanka-like situation.

“Next year, the country will face a budget deficit of Rs4598 billion,” he said.
