ISLAMABAD: Noor Alam Khan, a dissident PTI MNA, has declared her opposition to the federal government's Finance Bill, which will impose more taxes, according to ARY News on Wednesday.
Noor Alam Khan, an MNA in the National Assembly, declared that he would give up his position rather than support the Finance Bill. "I object to the taxation of wedding venues. Rather than making grandiose claims, the government should help the needy.
The NA senator demanded that the Federal Board of Revenue be under control while criticising the government (FBR). Smuggling still occurs, he claimed, using "green routes."
"The government should inform the nation about the law that permits it to have conversations with money smugglers," Noor Alam Khan questioned.
He claimed that Pakistan, not Afghanistan, is where he comes from. He continued by saying that US currency, food, and urea are being smuggled into Afghanistan.
