Sorry the population figures were incorrect for NWFP and Balochistan.
Punjab population= 95 million (spends $6 billion)
Sindh population = 39 million (spends $4 billion)
NWFP population = 27 million (spends $2.7 billion)
Balochistan Population = 9 million (spends $1 billion).
Total provincial expenditure per year = $14 billion
Pakistan's total federal budget = $30 billion (that means $16 billion to take care of loan/interest payments, imports, military, federal expenses on government, medical, pensions etc.).
Now you guys tell me, What you think is the equitable distribution of funds to replace the above figures.
Make sure you keep in $ billion.
Thank you.
I would knock off another 500 million dollars from Punjab and distribute equally between the other three provinces to extend a gesture of goodwill and ensure a better provincial harmony...people demanding more to be knocked off Punjab budget need to go to Punjab public hospitals and schools to see the pathetic conditions there...really the poor people of Punjab can not sacrifice more just to keep the provincial harmony...!!! After all it is not Punjab to make the sacrifices all the time and others just make hate propaganda against Punjab...!!! Remember Punjab getting Rs 3000 per capita against other provinces getting Rs 4800 oer capita !!!
