Rana demanded due share of quota proportionate to the gas shortage for Faisalabad. He said it is necessary to satisfy the perturbed people and to facilitate the value added textile sector that was earning precious foreign exchange for the country and providing jobs to the thousands of workers. Amjad assured them his utmost cooperation in this regard. Syed Zia Alamdar Hussain, Muhammad Amjad Khawaja, Haji Saleem, Shahid Ahmed Sheikh, Haji Muhammad Shafi and Mian Khalid Pervaiz were also in the delegation.
