PPP Requests More Time for Budget Proposals
According to Beyond Time News, the Pakistan Peoples Party has formally requested additional time from the government to finalize its budget recommendations.

Government representatives assured the party that authorities would continue involving the PPP during the entire budget preparation process.
Government Promises to Consider PPP Suggestions
