Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has accepted an invitation by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to discuss the party’s concerns regarding the 2024-25 federal budget. According to a report by Business Recorder, Shehbaz Sharif extended the invitation to Bilawal Bhutto while conveying Eid greetings. The meeting between the two leaders is expected to take place by Friday at the Prime Minister’s Office. A senior PPP leader Rana Sanaullah stated that the party’s objections to the budget are 100% valid and expressed hope that the country will emerge from the economic crisis through this year’s financial budget. There is a specific agenda between the two leaders, which includes resolving the pending issues, particularly the PPP’s concerns, as the party is against imposing heavy taxes on the salaried class. Bhutto did not attend the budget session on June 12, citing that the government did not consult the PPP during the preparation of the budget.
