Re: PPP says budget is Punjabistan Centric
what is fair and what is not, nobody will listen you after being called psychological patient.
You are just being defensive and pretending to be so overly upset just to avoid a real discussion. Remember this next time you call Karachiites racist and what not since you don't have the guts to hear anything negative about Punjab.
Punjab is not a holy cow! I've defended Punjab - fairly or unfairly - enough times to know what I am talking about.
Re: PPP says budget is Punjabistan Centric
So why PPP called budget Punjab centeric? How much of PSDP is being spent on Punjab as compared to other provinces.
There is a hue and cry over unjustified distribution even on professional forums like Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan. Looking at figures might add to something to the posters rather than going into that old dramabazi you are racist, I'm not (main to doodh ka dhula hoon).
Re: PPP says budget is Punjabistan Centric
Almost 100 development projects in KP are choked, 45 totally dropped. Can anyone please confirm if same number of PSDP projects are also dropped in Punjab in the budget?

Biggest contradiction between the Govt and various think tanks is GDP Growth of 4.7% vs 3.05%, 3.1%, and 3.4%.
This will get further clarified when by third week of June, GOP officials present IMF a officials the Memorandum of Economic and Financial Policies (MEFP).
Obviously different info for different audience (based on past record).
