PPP-PML-N 联盟在预算方面遇到障碍

人民党和穆斯林联盟-北方党之间的关系似乎如履薄冰，因为前者是执政联盟的重要盟友，对此表示不满

The PPP and PML-N hit a stumbling block on Tuesday when they failed to reconcile their differences over the proposed 18 per cent standard sales tax on agriculture inputs and machinery.

周二，PPP 和 PML-N 遇到了障碍，因为他们未能就农业投入品和机械征收 18% 标准销售税的提议达成分歧。国际货币基金组织坚持将这项税收作为其结束巴基斯坦免税政策的一部分，但仍然是争论的焦点。

Moreover, the PPP leadership is unhappy over load-shedding, importing wheat at the wrong time and the inquiry results as well as not giving relief to the agriculture sector in the budget. Feeling left out in the cold by the PML-N, the PPP leadership minced no words in expressing their displeasure as they lambasted the PML-N for sidelining a key coalition partner.

此外，PPP领导层对减负荷、在错误时间进口小麦、调查结果以及预算中没有给予农业部门救济等问题感到不满。人民党领导层感到受到了穆斯林联盟-北方的冷落，他们毫不掩饰地表达了他们的不满，痛斥穆斯林联盟-北方将一个关键的联盟伙伴排挤在一边。

When asked about the PPP’s thin presence in the NA, Senator Sherry Rehman said that the PPP had agreed to support government formation in the larger national interest after intense negotiations, adding that as part of both the parties’ agreement, “the PSDP of all four provinces was to be pre-agreed with the government”.

当被问及人民党在国会的影响力薄弱时，参议员雪莉·雷曼 (Sherry Rehman) 表示，经过激烈的谈判，人民党已同意支持为了更大的国家利益而组建政府，并补充说，作为双方协议的一部分，“所有四个政党的社会民主党各省应事先与政府达成协议”。

Had we been taken on board, the PPP stalwart said, we would have been able to positively contribute to the government’s budget-making process. “It is for this reason that PPP had token representation in protest during today’s budget speech session in the National Assembly,” Rehman said.

这位 PPP 的坚定支持者表示，如果我们被接纳，我们将能够为政府的预算制定过程做出积极贡献。雷曼说：“正是出于这个原因，人民党在国民议会今天的预算演讲会议上象征性地派代表表示抗议。”

“It is our party’s position that the government must take the PPP into full confidence on important issues such as the budget,” she said, adding the PPP is also engaged with the PML-N to ensure that the agreement is implemented and any future misunderstandings can be avoided.

她说：“我们党的立场是，政府必须在预算等重要问题上对 PPP 充满信心。”她补充说，PPP 还与 PML-N 合作，以确保协议得到执行，并避免未来出现任何误解。是可以避免的。

Both parties’ teams are meeting again tomorrow, she said, to ensure the implementation of the remainder of the agreement.

她说，双方团队明天将再次会面，以确保协议其余部分的实施。

在过去的几天里，在 PPP 指责 PML-N 对预算和税收问题充耳不闻，并表示总理及其政府应该在需要时解决这些问题后，联盟伙伴的意见并不一致。主要盟友的持续支持。

Following a split mandate in the February 8 general elections, it was the PPP which had helped the PML-N to form the government in the centre after they both had reached an agreement and divided key constitutional offices, including PM, president, governors, chairman and deputy chairman of Senate and speaker and deputy speaker of the National Assembly, between them.

在 2 月 8 日大选中出现分裂授权后，人民党帮助 PML-N 组建了中间政府，双方达成协议并划分了关键的宪法职位，包括总理、总统、州长、主席。以及参议院副主席、国民议会议长和副议长。
