Senator Asks Govt to Triple Armed Forces Budget and Double Their Salaries

Senator Faisal Vawda on Wednesday proposed a threefold increase in Pakistan’s defense budget and called for doubling the salaries of all armed forces personnel.

Speaking during a Senate session, he argued that the country’s development spending should be halted and redirected towards defense needs in light of the prevailing security situation.

Vawda also suggested that opposition members be included in diplomatic delegations abroad.

Addressing the same session, Senator Irfan Siddiqui denounced violent activities targeting children and public infrastructure, saying these acts were not part of any legitimate struggle for rights.

Former Finance Minister Ishaq Dar also condemned the involvement of Indian proxies and said such actions must stop, and India should take a lesson from Pakistan’s retaliatory measures.

Senator Sherry Rehman maintained that her party supports dialogue where possible, but firmly stated that those responsible for killing innocent children could not be considered political actors.

Forces may take over each n everything including budget , foreign aids , imf funds . Even then the 250 m masses ll not be unmoved at all . No need of wages , salaries , increments etc just provide them roti , kaprah n makan until they hold their own that’s it .

  • So just sell the country. Everyone should just become a military person then.

    Vadwa should sell his belonging and donate the proceeds to the armed forces
    He should marry his wife and daughter if any to armed forces
    He should sell his family entire estate and give it to armed forces.

    All of us are just disposable anyways.

  • Why don’t Mr Vawda Sells all his assets and donate it to Fauji Foundation and Silent his ass up.

    • yea bahot burraa polishee hey. apna seat har governemt main secure krna chahta hey.

  • they should also be given acres and acres of land, couple of landcruisers, half a dozen wives, free electricity, free gas, free education for kids in europe, half a dozen houses with servants, tons of gold bars, diamonds and whatever they can suck out of common man.

  • Such meaningless move is brought by a senator who has no public support n he was awarded this senatorship in a golden plate by the fabricators of this regime. He has no idea what v the tax payers r already suffering because of the in-service n retirees of armed services. A general becomes a billioner after his retirement n very nextt day he leaves the country for which he took oath to serve n defend. I have no doubt that many parliamentarian will follow Faisal to secure their seats in the house, as v have such a C grade material sitting therein.

  • Lease out whole Pakistan to China as our government is incompetent to develop it since we took independence from India. Pakistan became the most poor where as those who are governing and ruling it became the most richest.

    By giving it to China on lease for 100 years at least, they will get rid of the corrupt ones and bring Pakistan on the track of development with in three years.
    Dont worry about Islam as there is non already in Pakistan (Islam bariay naam hey sirf Pakistan main) as all sorts of vulgarity and crimes are at the peak in every field.
