Thousands of government employees from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa will depart for Islamabad today to participate in a sit-in, for which all preparations have been completed.

A large convoy of employees from Mardan, led by Aurangzeb Kashmiri, Central Secretary General of All Pakistan Clerks Association (APCA), will depart from Mardan Railway Station at 10 AM.

The sit-in outside Parliament House will continue until their demands are met.

Aurangzeb Kashmiri told The Express Tribune that the federal government must stop the economic massacre of employees under the guise of pension reforms.

He stated that the employees are not afraid of tear gas shelling, or arrests and will fight for their rights till the last drop of blood.

He declared that they will not beg for their rights but will snatch them.

Speaking to the media, Kashmiri condemned the corrupt rulers of the federal government for reducing pension commutation and issuing notifications for the privatization of profitable institutions, effectively 'burying government employees alive'.
