    According to details, Firdous Ashiq Awan said the opposition parties and other parliamentarians must also realize that the passage of the budget is a constitutional and national requirement.

    The Special Assistant said the people will not take to the streets on the call of the opposition parties.

    She said both the PML (N) and the PPP are responsible for the problems faced by the country and the people today.

    She, however, said that it is our desire to engage with the opposition and steer the country out of challenges.
