Imran Khan wants know where defence budget money is spent | Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has called for auditing the defence budget of the country by bringing it in the knowledge of the elected government as to where it is spent. Imran termed corruption "the biggest evil haunting the country", and felt that the menace had increased so massively that if not stopped, it would
eat up the country. He again urged the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and the Pakistan
Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders to declare their assets. Imran accused both
the PPP and the PML-N of supporting the status quo and urged their leadership
to bring back the money they had stashed in foreign accounts, to show they were
sincere with the country. Imran called the new federal budget a total fraud, opining
whatever tax was collected would be paid in external debt servicing. On devaluation
of rupee, Imran said that it pushes up inflation, while the leaders whose money
was 'preserved' in foreign accounts benefited from it. He said the people of the
country would not pay taxes as "their leaderships" had not been paying taxes.
He pointed out that 61% of the parliamentarians in the sitting assemblies did
not bother paying taxes. He vowed to collect taxes from the powerful segments
of society and reduce expenditures by adopting austerity measures, after coming
into power.
