Replying to a letter by PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, President Asif Ali Zardari sought his support regarding the Reformed General Sales Tax (RGST) Bill.
Zardari stated that it was the PML-N senator Ishaq Dar who had agreed to impose the tax through 15 amendments sent to the National Assembly.
In a detailed reply, President Zardari said that the PML-N should come up with suggestions on how to deal with issues the country was facing at the moment. He said that the PML-N’s reservations with the accountability bill would also be addressed. The PML-N had insisted that the head of the accountability commission should be a sitting judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
The president also said that the government has nothing to do with petroleum prices as they were linked to the international market. He added that an elaborate business plan was being developed for national institutions, such as Pakistan Railways and Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), to make them more profitable.
The PML-N chief had earlier written a letter to the president, extending full support of his party if the government agreed to the PML-N’s agenda.
