PM Imran reveal­s in his addres­s after the noisy budget sessio­nIn what looks like an exercise to justify the tax-heavy budget that his economic team has come up with, Prime Minister Imran Khan addressed the nation hours after the noisy budget session — sometime around midnight. The PM explained his ‘compulsion’ of loading the budget with harsh measures, citing lack of money and resources that he, like always, blamed on nothing else but the ‘corruption’ of previous rulers. He said the commission would comprise the Federal Investigation Agency, the Intelligence Bureau, the Inter-Services Intelligence, the Federal Board of Revenue and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan. When instituted and rolled into action, the inquiry commission must treat all equally — be it somebody from the government or the opposition.
