Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has stated that the government has informed the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that no taxes will be imposed on agriculture.
Speaking during a meeting of the federal cabinet, the Prime Minister said the IMF had been told that Pakistan's agriculture sector is currently under immense pressure, and therefore, taxing it is not acceptable. He added that the IMF has accepted Pakistan’s position on this matter.

He stated that hundreds of Iranians have been martyred or injured as a result of the Israeli aggression, and Pakistan has condemned the attack at every level.
