ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party has blamed the PML-N government for not taking PPP’s input at all while preparing the annual budget and wondered if it still wanted the ally’s support.

The PPP expressed its reservations in its parliamentary comm­i­ttee meeting, which was presided over by Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari in the meeting room of the National Assembly, on Tuesday.

Member of the National Assem­bly and PPP information secret­a­­ry Shazia Marri, briefing journalists after the parliamentary body meeting, said the lawmakers apprised the leadership of problems in their constituencies and expressed reservations over development schemes.

“The attitude adopted by the federal government towards our lawmakers is causing problems to our members as they are accountable to the people,” she said while expressing PPP’s annoyance over the government’s behaviour.

“No input from our party was taken in preparing the budget. Even in the federal PSDP, our op­­inion was not taken. We had tried to prevent such situation and senior party members approached the government, but it did not yield any result. “We did not expect that our voi­ce would not be heard,” she said.
