Disgruntled workers: K-P govt employees to protest outside Imran’s house
The class-IV employees’ association of Swat on Friday announced to stage a sit-in in front of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s residence in Bani Gala from November 27 for being ignored by the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government.
The body’s president, Sayed Khitab, told the media that the PTI-led provincial government was neither upgrading their pay scale nor increasing salaries while the K-P Chief Minister Pervez Khattak had announced up-gradation of scales of clerks.
He said the provincial government had not paid heed to their demands, adding that they were left with no other option.

Good. That is what awareness is all about. If their demands are just and fair, they should get a raise.
Even though I support PTI, I want them to be accountable. PTI should also get rid of corrupt and opportunist elements in the party. From what I have seen on TV, their Punjab leadership (Aijaz Chaudhry, Mian Mahmood Rasheed) looks incompetent. IK has to work on strengthening organizational capabilities of his party and not succumb to short-term political advantage.
