PESHAWAR, April 23: The All Pakistan Wapda Hydroelectric Workers Union April 22 staged demonstration against the proposed privatisation plan of the government and asked it to revise the decision.
Carrying placards and banners, the protesters, led by union’s chairman Gohar Taj and provincial chairman Haji Iqbal, gathered outside the Peshawar Press Club. They chanted slogans against the government for its privatisation policy.
The protestors condemned the recent firing on Class-IV employees during protest demonstration against provincial government outside assembly building. They said the use of tear gas and firing on the employees was condemnable, unlawful and tantamount to keeping the government employees from demanding their rights. The union leaders said the government had failed to functionalise all its national institutions.
