I bear all expenses of my household: PM Imran

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Wednesday that he bears all the expenses of his household and he has reduced them by 20 percent — saving Rs150 million.

PM Imran was addressing a ceremony of the Federal Board of Revenue, where he said that the country is going through a difficult phase.

PM Imran Khan said that the tax payers in the country will be treated as VIPs, adding ‘1.7 million tax payers cannot take the burden of 210 million population’.

Those who should have been paying taxes don’t, becoming burden on common man, said the prime minister.

“If the collective mindset isn’t changed then things will get worse,” warned the premier.

He said that the government had no alternative but to hike the gas prices as not doing so would have ended in their closure.

“Now we are lagging behind the most in the sub-continent,” said the prime minister.

While criticising the rival party leaders, he said that there is a class of the society which does not even want to have their medical treatment in the country.
