In the background of Industries Minister Hammad Azhar presenting the budget for the new fiscal year, opposition benches in the National Assembly shouted slogans and carried placards bearing messages against Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is also in attendance.

Loud slogans against the premier and table-thumping by the opposition benches can be heard as Azhar highlights the PTI-led government's efforts to streamline the economy.
