Treasu­ry MPAs cite this reason for reduce­d defenc­e budget­LAHORE: The treasury benches of the Punjab Assembly said that the reduction on the defence budget is a result of the government’s better relations with the establishment compared to previous regimes. Waseem Khan was among the PTI’s MPAs who paid tribute to Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa and applauded current civil-military relations. Credit goes to the good relations between the civilian government and the military,” Khan expressed. He said doubters were welcome to come and investigate the governance of the previous regime and the projects initiated by it. Ahmed raised objections over finance minister Makhdoom Hashim Jawan Bakht’s speech, adding it was not a fact-based speech.
