Now a times for an ordinary Pakistani, showing his desire to eat plum sauce (aloo Bukhara chutney) in Ramadan is just like a desire to eat pastry in the absence of flour. Such kind of thing our finance minister also Want to do.
This commitment is good to maintain the taste of mouth but tax evasion in this country is a big problem that has been going on since the time of independence. That problem was also there even when you became a banker then you took a job abroad even you gave up your Pakistani citizenship and now you have regained it but nothing has changed in such a long period.
Mr. mistier, your desire is right but in a country where all the burden of taxes and debts is on the citizens, you have to put your hands on big crocodiles. You can estimate the past condition of the people from the fact that even in the month of Ramadan, vegetables are not available to the citizens.
According to the figures of the Department of Statistics, the prices of vegetables and fruits have gone up. Mr. Finance Minister, with the arrival of Ramadan, the wave of inflation also came, after flour, vegetables and fruits are also being sold at arbitrary prices.
Onions have increased from 200 rupees to 250 rupees and tomatoes have started selling at 200 rupees per kg. Citizens are also disappointed with the cheap markets of Islamabad, while in Lahore, vegetables and fruits are still being sold at different and arbitrary prices, so what will happen to small cities and towns where there is no check and balance at all?
A dozen bananas are being sold for Rs 180 and sometimes Rs 200. Apples at the official price of Rs 315 per kg are not available anywhere. In Karachi, Islamabad and Quetta, onions have reached Rs 250 to 300 per kg, while in Peshawar nothing is selling reasonably.
In such a situation, the only option for taxation is to impose it on big capitalists and not let its effects be transferred to the people. Federal Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb’s preference for transparency in the tax system cannot be denied and indeed the share of taxes in the national income should be 10%. He Want to take the IMF, program. Pakistan will try to take a bigger program according to its quota. Pakistan wants to take the longest period program from the IMF. If there is continuity in the IMF program, there will be economic discipline.
The improvement of the economy is the goal of our government more than the IMF. He said that the Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has a clear vision for the improvement of the economy, the Prime Minister has given strict instructions to maintain economic discipline.
The final tranche of the current loan program from the IMF is unrestricted. The IMF has given 1.1 billion dollars in the last tranche of the existing loan program. Economic stability is a common goal of the IMF and the Government of Pakistan. Caretaker government worked diligently to improve economy, privatization matters Fawad Hasan Fawad handled with great interest and effort, wants to collect tax revenue digitally.
Environmental funding could also be discussed alongside the loan program from the IMF. For the improvement of the environment, the IMF has been lending more than the quota to some countries.
All the talks of the minister are gold, but he should realize one thing that this is not Europe, but a looted Pakistan.
Where the debts were paid by increasing the cost of gas, electricity and fuel and the burden is falling on the public. Therefore, it should also be in his mind that who will repay the loans, the masses or the capitalists? If imposing more entrust on the country is the only reason of the above program then it will be a bargain of loss and any ordinary Pakistani can easily do this. Therefore, it is better to avoid poisoning the nation by pretending to feed it with plum sauce.
