Senator Sherry Rehman who is the parliamentary leader of the Pakistan People Party (PPP) said:

We will not support the bill on the salary increase for parliamentarians,

Public money needs to be spent on public relief right now,

She said that during the current economic crisis of the country, this wasn’t the right time for such a matter to be considered and lawmakers to demand something like this.

Glad to see some parties changing minds on bill to enhance parliamentarians’ salaries.PPP was very clear from DayOne: we represent the poorest,most vulnerable, who r sinking in the tsunami of inflation. In this context of public impoverishment we can’t support raising r salaries pic.twitter.com/7DOwNSuhgQ
