Sindh CM’s objections over budget removed by economic team: Iqbal.
"Why objections are being raised now when budget approved with consensus."
Some funds were also increased in the budget on CM Murad's demand: minister.
Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal has said that 2023-24 federal budget was tabled in the National Assembly last week with the consent of Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah.

His statement came a day after Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari publicly criticised the government’s economic team saying promised funds for flood victims were not allocated in the budget.

“I have no doubt on prime minister’s intention...but members of his [PM Shehbaz Sharif] team are not fulfilling their promises and prime minister should hold them answerable,” the PPP chief had remarked at the public gathering in Swat.

He also warned that his party, which is a key ally of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N)-led coalition government at the Centre, cannot vote for the budget in parliament without the allocation of funds for flood victims rehabilitation.

Responding to Bilawal’s warning earlier today in a conversation with Geo News, the planning minister said the PPP-backed Sindh CM’s objections over the budget were removed by the economic team.
