Karachi (HRNW) The federal government should share its plan regarding the Pakistan Steel Mills with us, the Sindh government is willing to run it, Education Minister Saeed Ghani said.
“The government can take the liabilities and give the Mills to us, Sindh is ready to take over and run it,” he suggested in a press conference on Sunday.
Ghani said that the Center’s decision to fire more than 9,500 workers of the mill and privatise it was unjust and the PPP will oppose it. “We will stand with all the employees and their families no matter what happens.”
He said that the government was using the Supreme Court’s decision to cover up its deeds. “In 2006, when the Steel Mills were privatized, a case was filed in the Supreme Court and the judge was against the decision,” the minister pointed.
The court has also stated that all matters pertaining the court should be approved and referred by the Council of Common Interests. The minister questioned whether the federal government has discussed this decision with them.
Ghani said that the PPP was being blamed for employing people in the Mills during their government. “During our tenure between 2008 and 2013, not even a single person from the party was employed in the Mills.
