Enigma of the Defence Budget

Re: # 3 The revised figures of 272 B are clearly a 40% rise int the initially allocated last year`s budget of Rs 193 B. And also it is certainly a 14 % rise as compared to the `revised`+concealed budget ` of Rs 242 B from last year. May be you got confused with the figures somewhere.

A quarter of the budget?.That`s a lot of moola.However, in light of terrorists and inflamatory mullahs lurking in pakistan, not including the need to step in if sectarian violence gets out of hand, it is imperative to maintain a large armed force to maintain order or act as a deterrent.A necessary cost for pakistan.The citizenry has no choice but to grin and bear it.

nice to see you here and welcome to chowk:)

this is the crux of the matter Despite defence absorbing more than a quarter of the national wealth, the subject, unlike debt servicing, has become inured from public debate and exempt from any parliamentary accountability.
