PML-N two-faced over RGST, says Babar Awan

ISLAMABAD: Law Minister Babar Awan on Saturday said the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) was being two-faced with regard to the Reformed General Sales Tax (RGST).

Awan said PML-N leaders were making billions of rupees but paying taxes worth only Rs 5,000.

Speaking to media representatives after the second meeting of the Judicial Commission (JC), Awan said a new chapter was being written in Pakistan’s history.

He said the JC’s unanimous selection of Justice Ejaz Chaudhry for appointment as Chief Justice Lahore High Court explains that reservations pertaining to the 18th Amendment were invalid.

Awan further said that the PML-N has one approach toward the RGST in the parliament and another approach toward the same in the Council of Common Interests (CCI).

He said the tax culture in the country needs reformation so that the rich also pay taxes.
