Defence Budget Swells by 24.5% in PTI government

Mr. Iqbal’s claim about PTI of keeping defence budget stagnant in last three years, is false unless someone comes up with a mathematical rule which approximates 24.5% increase to 0%. Second claim of Former Minister about India’s surge in defence budget by 62% during the same period is proven to be false. However, the third claim about PMLN’s increase in defence budget by 40% during 1st three years of its last tenure, turn out to be true (almost/approximately true, though).

The expiry date is still a few weeks away and is on April 31st” which further disproves the claim that vaccine doses delivered had expired and were therefore returned back to India.
