The Salaried Class Alliance in Pakistan has organized nationwide peaceful protests, rallying under the slogan “#TaxKumKro” (Reduce Taxes).
The protests aim to raise awareness about the high tax burden on the salaried class and demand relief from the government.
Protesters gathered in major cities, including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, holding placards and banners, and chanting slogans against the current tax regime.
The protesters demanded a reduction in income tax rates, abolition of withholding taxes, and an end to the discrimination between filers and non-filers.
They also called for a more equitable tax system, where the burden is shared fairly among all segments of society.
The protests remained peaceful, with participants from various industries and sectors, including doctors, engineers, and business professionals, joining in to show their solidarity.
The Salaried Class Alliance has threatened to intensify the protests if their demands are not met.
They have also called for support from other segments of society, including traders, farmers, and laborers, to join the movement and demand a fairer tax system.
The protests have gained significant traction on social media, with many using the hashtags.
