Thread on the lies of Boy King Bilawal. 1/8) "PM visited #Sindh 6 months after COVID 1st case was recorded in Karachi." First case reported in Feb 26, NOT 6 months ago. Bilawal needs a better maths teacher. PM is heading the NCC which is overseeing the situation in all provinces.
2/8)"Refused to do anything to save the people from infection or starvation." There are 8.59M households in Sindh. The recipients of Ehsaas Cash COVID-19 support in Sindh are 5M meaning 58% of households in Sindh will directly benefit from this program. What has Sindh Gov done?
3/8)"His budget robs our province of 229 billion rupees during a pandemic." Provinces get their share of NFC award based on the tax collection of federal govt. Due to pandemic & lockdown the economic activity reduced causing slowdown in tax collection. From an increase of 17%.👇🏼
.. by March20 to flat for full year. As a result each province will get lesser from collected tax divisible pool share (Sindh 24.5%) NO CUTS. Bilawal is angry on this but wanted more stringent lockdown, what would have happened if fed govt has done that? IK kahan sy laye paisay?
4/8) "His budget does not support our healthcare system under incredible strain from covid." Health is a provincial subject. For emergency support federal govt through NDMA procured & gave everything from PPEs, masks, testing kits, ventilators when sindh govt was busy in lying.
5/8) "He has left our farmers exposed to locusts & economic ruin". Fed Govt has allocated Rs 10B for locust control meaures. Punjab Govt has taken initiatives on it own too but all Sindh has is play politics. What have you done till now? This issue is shared responsibility.
6/8) "Reduced BISP funding for the poor." Blatant lie, Ehsaas/BISP funding has been increased from Rs 190B last year to Rs 230B, in 2 years, PTI has doubled it from Rs 115B in 2018. Last year special Ehsaas emergency support budget was also added which increased initial budget.
7/8) "Fires 10,000 steel mill workers". Sir it was your govt which ruined steel mill and made it a loss making entity and you have the audacity to question this? Govt has given steel mills employees a 2-3 year salary package worth Rs 20B, Per employee will be Rs 23 lakh.
8/8) "However, found 80 billion rupees to fund a dam." Aren't dams important for the country's power & water sector? It will also create employment opportunities, and other businesses giving construction material etc. Govt has allocated Rs 70B for COVID. Tell us what you did?
