United Business Group (UBG), the representative organization of Pakistan’s business community in FPCCI, has opposed the increase in salaries of the members of the Senate, including the Senate Chairman, Deputy Chairman, Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the House.
The approval of the amendment bill to increase the benefits has been described as a severe blow to the poor people who are crushed in the country’s current economic conditions and inflation.
The UBG leaders said that it is surprising that Senator Kehda Babar When this bill was presented in the House, he said that the approval of these bills will not have any effect on the country’s treasury, while the fact is that the country’s treasury is close to being empty, and the help of friendly countries has to be taken to show the dollars in the treasury.
While the IMF has also refused to give a loan, in these circumstances and hastily passing a bill presented by a private member is tantamount to making a joke at the international level. The UBG leader said that It seems that all the parties involved in the current government passed these laws with behind-the-scenes collusion at a time when Pakistan is going through the worst economic crisis, foreign investment has stopped and the domestic industries are facing many problems.
They are fighting for survival and in the Upper House, the Senate Chairman, Deputy Chairman, Leader of the Opposition and the Leader of the House including the members of the Senate will have an increase in their salaries and benefits, the children of the current Chairman of the Senate, the children of the former Chairman of the Senate and their family members will live a life of luxury and comfort on government expenses.
And in case of illness, the treatment can be done abroad at the government expense.
