The Punjab government's 2025-26 budget is nothing short of economic warfare against Siraiki Wasaib! While our region generates massive wealth through its natural resources and agricultural production, we're being systematically starved of development funds.
The brutal budget figures tell the story of Extraction and Economic Exploitation: though we comprise 35% of Punjab's population, we received a criminal percentage of this year's Rs. 5,335 billion development budget - just pennies when we're owed Rs 436 billion through the 35% ring fencing. This isn't negligence, it's calculated economic genocide. Punjab's total education budget is 148 billion rupees—yet visible allocation is mere 55 crores for the whole of Siraiki-Wasaib, when the rightful share should be 52 billion.The rest has been looted and swallowed by the Punjab Our sick die in understaffed hospitals while Punjab's elite enjoy best healthcare. Out of the health care development budget of Rs.181 billion, only 1950.4 million visible allocations for health care development in Siraiki asaib. Our farmers of Siraiki Wasaib suffered losses around 300 billion in last wheat season alone. The so-called "South Punjab" secretariat has been reduced to an empty shell, with even the bare minimum 35% ring-fenced funding stolen and hidden in shady budget lines. We're done begging for scraps from Lahore's table. The only solution is complete separation - an independent Siraiki province with our rightful Rs 1,500 billion NFC share and full control over our resources.
Siraiki Student Alliance is launching an online twitter campaign to expose Punjab's hegemony and economic exploitative to the world and demand justice under .
