The All Pakistan Clerks Association (APCA) will hold a rally today (Thursday) to press its demand for implementation of the Pay and Pension Commission’s recommendations and to protest against the soaring petroleum prices. The decision was taken in a meeting presided over by APCA Lahore chapter President Muhammad Irshad on Copper Road on Wednesday.
Condemning the criticism of their justified demands, APCA leaders said they would burn the effigies of Fauzia Wahab and Abida Hussain outside the Punjab Assembly. The APCA demanded a salary raise in line with rising prices and urged the government to upgrade their pay scales according to the Pension Commission’s recommendations before the upcoming budget.
