No matter what is the economic condition of Pakistan, but when you know the salary of the ministers there, you will be stunned.

Pakistani ministers are getting all the comforts along with a hefty salary. Let's know how much is the salary of ministers in Pakistan...

The Pakistani government recently approved a huge hike of 188% in the salaries of cabinet ministers, state ministers and advisors. Under this new announcement, ministers will now get a salary of about Rs 5.19 lakh every month.

The Shahbaz Sharif-led government had made big promises in the past to cut down expenses and maintain financial discipline. In such a situation, this salary hike emerged as a shocking news for a moment. The people of Pakistan, who are already struggling with economic crisis and various challenges of life, are feeling hurt by this decision.

The government has said that this decision is a step taken towards strengthening the recovery process of the country, but the general public called it a contradictory decision.

The Government of Pakistan had said that this step will help the country recover from the economic recession only through strategic decisions and policy efforts of ministers and advisors.
