ISLAMABAD: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, Syed Khursheed Shah criticized the Federal Government on presenting the budget for the next fiscal year here at the budget session in the Parliament on Friday.

He said that the present government can present the budget for only three or four months as it is going to complete its five-year term on May 30 and only the new government emerging from the Elections 2018 can present the budget for the whole year.

Khursheed Shah also objected on appointment of Miftah Ismail as federal minister for finance and said that Miftah cannot be made federal minister as he is not an elected member of the National Assembly.

Parliamentary leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Shah Mehmood Qureshi also spoke at the moment and endorsed the Opposition Leader’s stance.
