" farming community has been neglected in the budget. what benefit has been given to hand pushed cart owner. Here are two Pakistans. One is of poor people Pakistan and other is rich people Pakistan. he said this while expressing his views during budget debate in National Assembly (NA) Tuesday.
Corruption of billion of rupees has been committed in Mohmand dam and billion projects, he added.
