The Planning Minister, Ahsan Iqbal, has a constant view since he assumed charge of the Ministry that the federal government should not take projects related to the provinces. “The federal government should consider only high priority projects of the provinces based on 50-50 sharing,” said the minister during the last meeting in which he reviewed the PSDP.
This is worth noting that despite financial constraints, the government managed to allocate Rs700 billion for PSDP. During the year 2022, in the same quarter, the PTI government failed to release a single penny, which happened for the first time in the country’s history.
