ISLAMABAD: No one from the treasury benches in the Senate on Sunday either confirmed or denied that the Capital Gain Tax (CGT) was shelved for two years after unidentified persons held negotiations with PPP leaders.
Leader of the Opposition Kamil Ali Agha alleged in his speech during the budget debate that the CGT was not imposed following the landing of a chartered plane from Karachi at Islamabad and talks between the leaders of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and “someone”.

This is criminal. The wealthiest in the society are not taxed. The waderas and feudals don’t have to pay agriculture tax, neither is there any capital gains on the stock barons. I am amazed that no one from the ‘reformed’ PMLN has raised a voice, neither has the media.

@ Kruman,
How do u expect corrupt PMLN leaders to raise voice. Did u forget the millions of dollars that they moved overseas before the nuclear test and subsequent foreign accounts freeze.
Only middle class people were hurt who had saved couple of thousands in US Dollars.
