Mr. Azhar Hussain Abbasi Vice Chairman and Mr. Naeem Qureshi Chairman Executive Committee Sindh Bar Council have shown their serious concern on the price hike including huge increase in electricity bills/charges as well as petrol prices which has made the life of citizens miserable on one hand and on the other, the privilege class high officials of the government and the private sector corporation are enjoying free electricity, gas, petrol etc etc, which amounts to billions of rupees, therefore, they demanded that all such privileges of all those officials of the state or private sector enjoying free of charge facilities in respect of electricity, gas and petrol be stopped and withdrawn forthwith.
Learned Vice Chairman and Chairman Executive Committee are of the view that presently all segments of our country are grappling with these undue financial pressures which not only compound their struggles but also threaten their economic stability.
They said the present caretaker Government has failed to control the inflation and also failed to provide any relief to the citizens.
The Sindh Bar Council demands from the Care Taker Federal Government and Provincial Governments to take immediate notice of high rising inflation and take effective measures to reduce it.
As a protest and in solidarity with the majority of population, the Sindh Bar Council announced full day strike / boycott of Court proceedings throughout Sindh Province on Monday i.e. 04.09.2023.
