No one talks about those who provide day and night coverage for the salaries of others: Mubasher Luqman

“No one talks about how, those who cover day and night for the salaries of others, are being treated”, Mubashir Luqman

Baaghi TV: Senior anchor person Mubashir Luqman tweeted on social networking site that all news channels are loudly cursing the government for demanding increase in salaries of government employees. Interestingly, those who provide news coverage to the public, their own salaries have not been increased over the years, but have been deducted and not even received on time.

تمام نیوز چینلز زور و شور سے سرکاری ملازمین کے تنخواہیں بڑھانے کے مطالبے کے حق میں حکومت کو لعن طعن کر رہے۔مزے کی بات کوریج کرنے والوں کی اپنی تنخواہیں کئی سال سے نہیں بڑھیں بلکہ کٹوتی ہو چکی، وقت پر ملتی بھی نہیں۔اوپر سے ہر وقت فارغ کیئے جانے کا خطرہ

It should be noted that government employees are on the streets demanding the government to increase their salaries. According to sources, in the meeting between the Prime Minister and the government negotiating team, the officials of the Ministry of Finance gave a briefing and detailed information about the burden on the national exchequer due to the increase in salaries.

Sources said that the Prime Minister, after briefing the Finance Ministry officials and the negotiating committee, approved the increase in the salaries of government employees, but this approval would also be sought from the Cabinet.

According to sources, approval for the pay hike will be sought from the cabinet through a circulation summary, after which a notification of the pay hike will be issued.

It is to be noted that the government employees in Islamabad yesterday protested against the increase in salaries and tried to march towards the Parliament House on which the police charged tear gas and batons on the employees and arrested several people.
