Protest Leaders’ Concerns

Speaking at the protest, the leaders of the teachers’ associations and government employees condemned the government’s decision, calling it an act of blatant injustice. They said:

Key Demands

1. Pensions must be immediately restored.
2. All legitimate benefits and facilities for government employees must be ensured without delay.

They warned that if the Sindh government failed to meet these demands, the scope of protests would be expanded across the district and province.

Conclusion
