ISLAMABAD:
The Senate Standing Committee on Defence on Thursday approved an 18 per cent raise in the defence budget for the next financial year.

Speaking to the media after a committee meeting at the Parliament House in Islamabad, chairperson Dr Azra Afzal said the increment had been made to fulfill the requirements of the armed forces in the fight against terrorism.

Earlier, Ministry of Defence officials had briefed the committee about the proposed budget and had recommended the 18 per cent increase.

The previous defence budget stood at Rs 442 billion, accounting for 13.56 per cent of the Rs 3.259 trillion budget outlay. The new figures are expected to cross Rs500 billion.

Correction: April 2, 2011
Due to an error, the percentage of the defence budget as part of the budget outlay for 2010-11 had been incorrectly stated. It has now been corrected.

health budget of this country is 18 billions and thats not the doctors budget. thats the total spending we make on health of 180 million people of this country.

that is rs 100 per citizen per year.

The icing on the cake is that the Army does not allow the assembly to debate or ask for details of their expenditures as it is some sort of 'national security' issue which needs to stay under covers.

I wonder where StarGazer and his/her glorious seemingly well written replies in defense of the Army go when people raise such questions?

He/She resorts to the ever uselful 'its no use debating with people who cannot understand' line and then jumps ship.

Bravo.
