Stability, good governance to remain a far cry

Budget leaves country more vulnerable, to shake stability
Economic injustice emerging as a big threat
Speakers at a post budget seminar said that budget has been designed by the elite for people representing superior social and economic status.

The speakers including DG IPS Khalid Rehman, economist and policy analyst Mr Masood Dahir, Major Amanullah (Retired), Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President Pakistan Economy Watch and others said at the seminar that budget will leave masses vulnerable.
