Imran Niazi must resign instead of burdening the country with this mini-budget and the government’s coalition partners must stand up against this mini-budget for national interest. The joint opposition would resist this mini-budget with all its strength, he added. This would be a Pact of slavery 0f Pakistani people and would spell doomsday for them with the extreme inflation. Price of petrol and electricity would skyrocket further and would make survival impossible, he said.
