MINISTER for Finance Ishaq Dar reached an important milestone by presenting ñve consecutive national budgets.
Unfortunately, during the last four years of the PML-N government, his policies have been disappointing as the country has been turned into a consumer market for foreign goods.The result of the lopsided development approach since the civilian transition in 2008is tobe seenin the rise ofpoverty, 25m children out-of-school, the nonavailability of healthcare to most people, a crumbling infrastructure and the looming threat of water famine.
