Islamabad, Pakistan: Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said provinces would not face further deductions beyond an agreed three-year defence contribution, while his NFC Award remarks stressed protected provincial shares.

Bilawal made the statement during the National Assembly budget session. He said the federal government and provinces had agreed to share the burden of “unusual national necessities.”

The PPP chairman said the arrangement would last for three years. He added that no additional provincial share would be demanded after that period.

آج اس خطے اور دنیا کیلئے ایک نئی امید پیدا ہوئی ہے، ایران امریکہ امن معاہدے نے ثابت کردیا ہے کہ بات چیت جنگ سے بہتر اور ڈپلومیسی تکرار سے زیادہ طاقتور ہوتی ہے۔

The National Finance Commission Award formula remained unchanged. Bilawal said provincial governments had repeatedly made sacrifices in the national interest.

Bilawal said both the federation and the provinces were facing serious financial pressure. He said Pakistan needed economic projects that could support sustainable growth.

“ہر مشکل کے وقت کا مقابلہ کرنے کیلئے صوبائی حکومتوں نے بار بار قربانی دی ہے اور آج بھی دے رہے ہیں، سب سے پہلے 2008 سے 2013 پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کے دور حکومت کے دوران جب سیلاب آیا تو اس کا مقابلہ کرنے کیلئے ہم نے وقتی طور پر پیٹرولیم لیوی کو متعارف کروایا جس کا مقصد تھا کہ ہم وقتی… pic.twitter.com/0J8oR1tJKp

The PPP chairman also welcomed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s decision to contribute in the national interest. He said the province had set aside political differences and praised the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf stance on the floor of the House.

Bilawal warned that Pakistan’s financial model still depended on borrowing to repay borrowing. He said the country needed a stronger growth path to reduce that dependence.

"پاکستان اس وقت دہشت گردی، فسادات، مذہبی انتہا پسندی اور علیحدگی پسند تنظیموں کا مقابلہ کر رہا ہے۔ ہم جانتے ہیں کہ ان تنظیموں اور دہشت گردوں کے پیچھے بیرونی قوتیں اور ان کی مالی معاونت موجود ہے۔

On regional diplomacy, Bilawal welcomed the preliminary Iran-US peace deal mediated through Pakistan. He congratulated President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif over efforts to promote regional peace.

Bilawal also defended the Benazir Income Support Programme and criticised campaigns against it. He urged protesters in Azad Jammu and Kashmir to end demonstrations peacefully, saying unrest was damaging Pakistan’s image and the Kashmir cause.
