The danger here is the opposition will start doing exactly what PTI did when it was seeking power. Pakistan will suffer yet again.

If they have the popularity and can attract the protestors, they're welcome too. It's their democratic right.

Let us see how they are able to exercise their rights given the backing of the present government. I hope there are no disruptions caused by any dharnas as happened in the past.

Opposition has no support.

We will soon find out, won't we?

Many food items GST has been decreased or removed.

This budget was for poor and it's going to rightly hurt the middle and upper class and rightly so as all tax evaders are in these two classes.

This is what happens when people don't pay taxes.

Personally I would have linked tax filing to utilities bills. Non filers should be charged 30 times the electricity and gas price. Tax filing requirement over a limit set on units consumed. Force those above that set units to submit NTN numbers and then cross reference for confirmation of last tax filing.

Pakistanis voted for IK, who are you to question their vote? What is your auqaat? Don't over estimate your importance.

Flavoured milk price has increase.

As for cooking oil, for a family of 5 handi, only 3 table spoons is required. People waste and overuse oil like anything in cooking.

Sugar - it's a luxury for poor and majority population is poor if you didn't bother finding that out. This is not a tax on poor. And anyone who wants to consume a lot of this narcotic should pay for higher price for it.

GST on lots of final food products has been brought down.

Being middle class is a sin in Pakistan . If it's poor favouring budget yet middle class get grilled, and if it is industrial/investor's favouring yet middle class get grilled. Middle class has only option, whether to leave the country or start stealing and try to join elite or last to join poor class (between 2009-2013 many middle class families become Poor's this new budget will do same.

Overall taxes has been increased, tax slabs are now more brutal, same time development budget has been decreased. Nothing favouring overseas or investors, no new Opportunities for common people to earn.

(Let me go through complete, so far it looks like as per expectations i.e. based on IMF demands)

Move up. Or move out.

If middle class is removed from equation, Pakistan will fall soon. We hand to mouth people run the show.

Elite class has ways to evade taxes or move their money outside. Poor's has nothing to loss so they stay at this place.
