ISLAMABAD: Those who run Sindh’s branch of the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) say that since federal government employees’ salaries were raised a few months ago, the current government isn’t going to raise them again.
He took to Twitter and said that there would be no backtracking. The salary issues will be taken into account in the next budget, he said.
“At the same time, we raised the pensions of retired government workers. I hope this helps clear up any confusion, Miftah said.
The new Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, said earlier that he would raise the salaries and pensions of government workers by 10% and increase the minimum wage to Rs 25,000.
Sharif said these things in his first speech after becoming the 23rd Prime Minister of Pakistan.
There is no U-turn. Since fed govt employees’ salaries were raised a couple of months ago, we are not raising them again. However their salary issues will be considered in the next budget. Meanwhile we raised pensions of retired govt employees. I hope this clarifies any confusion https://t.co/3V84EFufCm
