All political parties agreed to increase salaries, including privileges and allowances, and the recommendation was approved by all parties' consensus.
MNAs and senators' salaries would be increased to 519,000, and the speaker would send the recommendation to PM Shahbaz Sharif. The issue was highlighted by all parties, and their salaries should increase.
