Increase in power tariff is intolerable: Bilawal Bhutto

Islamabad: Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that after the imposition of income tax of up to 35% on electricity bills through a presidential ordinance is intolerable.

Let the nation know that if they want to get rid of inflation, they have to send the PTI government home. In a statement issued from Media Office, Chairman PPP said that Imran Khan has made inflation the biggest problem for the people of Pakistan. If people across the country do not protest against inflation, Imran Khan’s attacks on people will not stop. Income tax of 5% on Rs 10,000 and 10% on Rs. 20,000 bills, 20% on bills up to Rs 30,000 and Rs 40,000 will bring a new storm of inflation.

Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the increase in production cost of factories due to high power cost will further affect the budget of a common man.

He said that people were already depositing billions of rupees in the national exchequer in the form of indirect taxes ranging from mobile phone cards to grocery items. If taxes are to be levied, then Imran Khan should levy them on his rich friends who have been given tax exemption of billions of rupees.
