About 27th constitutional amendment I am hearing from you. Government has not made contact with us so far with regard to 27th constitutional amendment.

He called upon government to summon NFC meeting and issue new NFC award. We have got assigned responsibilities to provincial governments but NFC award is the same.

Bilawal Bhutto said federal government should not shift burden of its failures to provinces. Provinces are not at fault in the failure of FBR in achieving its tax targets.

This is failure of federal government and those running FBR.
