PTI Slams Govt Over Super Tax.

LAHORE -- PTI leader and energy minister Hammad Azhar on Friday lambasted the coalition government's decision to impose 10 percent super tax on large-scale industries.

He went on to say that the country's economy was plunging and such measures at this time will reverse the 'industrialisation momentum that PTI generated'. He added: 'Industry is already facing crippling costs due to rising prices of commodities and energy.
