ISLAMABAD: Former Senate chairman and leader of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Mian Raza Rabbani has asked the federal government to suspend non-salary current expenditure and development expenditure of non-essential divisions of the federal government forthwith.
He impressed upon the federal government that it should immediately issue instructions to all autonomous, semi-autonomous and government institutions that no worker, contract employee or daily wage worker shall be laid off and all kind of workers shall be paid salaries and wages in full during the pendency of this virus emergency.
In a statement issued by Mian Raza in the wake of coronavirus breakout, he has maintained that the federal government must also ensure that factories, mills, companies and institutions working in the private sector also implement the same and do not use the question of liquidity as an excuse.
“If the federal government shows any slackness apart from being a humane question it can become a law and order issue,” Mian Raza Rabbani warned.
