Summary The increment should be for both private as well as government employees.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Opposition leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday demanded that the minimum income be set at Rs 18000 due to ongoing surge in inflation.
The leader of PML-N asked government to increase pay of its employees as holy month of Ramadan is nearing and the PTI government has brought a record inflation in the country. He demanded to increases the salaries of employees by minimum Rs3000 and stressed that government should ensure due action in this regard.
He further said there should be an immediate increase up to 20% in salaries for those earning Rs100000 per month. The increment should be for both private as well as government employees.
Shehbaz also said that in PML-N regime the inflation was at 47 years low but it has now reached to 9.4% ultimately burdening the poor of this country.
He said if government did not give relief to poor then it will add insult to the injury in the holy month of Ramadan. The incumbent government should care about the poor and middle class strata of Pakistan and must not show insensibility towards them, he added.
