ISLAMABAD: former president of Pakistan and President Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) Asif Ali Zardari has expressed concern over the government reportedly putting an end to the Benazir Employees Stock Option Scheme.
"The PTI government is snatching the rights of the people like vultures circling their prey," he said in a statement on Tuesday. The former president said that the government should not have any intention to gulp Rs28 billion of the hardworking workers and people.
"The main purpose of the scheme was to facilitate the government employees," he said.
The former president said that Benazir Employees Stock Option Scheme is a part of BISP and by ending it; the government is making clear that it does not want its employees working in industries to benefit from the scheme. He said that he is warning the people who still hold grudges against Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto to not seize the earnings of the people.
He concluded by saying that the PPP will strongly condemn from within and outside the Parliament if such a step is taken.
