Pakistani Budgets are not privileged to overseas Pakistanis: PJBC President Rana Abid Hussain

June 08, 2017

PJBC President Rana Abid Hussain stated in a media interview that Pakistani government doesn’t have any incentives for overseas Pakistani in both federal and provincial budgets despite of the imperative role of Pakistani Diaspora abroad. He added the Pakistani Diaspora is being derelict notwithstanding of their monetary contribution of 30 billion dollar in terms of foreign remittance yearly.

He said this budget was the last budget for the incumbent government; and it was presumed that they will give incentives for overseas Pakistanis but again this year they are neglected. He further stated that PJBC gave recommendations this year as well for the budget but once again these are ignored.
