Bilawal rejects latest tax on electricity bills, grills PTI govt for unbridled inflation
Karachi: Lambasting at the PTI government for dropping another bomb on masses, Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said the recent implementation of up to 35 tax in electricity bills through presidential ordinance is not acceptable.


In a tweet he said the nation had lost patience after latest hike in power bills and that Imran Khan had made price hike the biggest ever problem for the people of Pakistan.
"It's time the nation decide to get rid of this government if inflation has to be overcome. Imran Khan will continue attacking masses if the latter do not come out of their houses."

He said recent imposition of taxes in power bills would not only bring a flood of inflation but also would affect badly the pockets of people as inflated power bills would jack up the input cost of industries.
"The people are already depositing billions of rupees in the national kitty in form of indirect taxes on items ranging from mobile phone cards to grocry."
Bilawal advised Prime Minister Imran Khan to impose taxes on his rich frinds who had been exempted from taxes worth billions.
