The National Assembly session for the FY2026-27 budget presentation has been delayed, with a key ally, the PPP, announcing its chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari will not attend. While not a boycott, the PPP confirmed some members would participate, emphasizing their role in the budget process for national interest. Prior to the session, PPP members staged a protest in the NA, demanding Sindh's rightful share of water and highlighting a significant water shortage. The federal cabinet has since approved the budget, which is expected to introduce new tax measures and offer targeted relief for certain income groups. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also met with coalition partner MQM-P to discuss the budget, acknowledging their constructive role.
This highlights potential political friction within the ruling coalition and ongoing provincial water disputes impacting national legislative proceedings.
