PPP拒絕聯邦政府提議的7％，養老金和薪水增加10％

巴基斯坦人民黨（PPP）週二拒絕了聯邦政府提議的7％，養老金和薪水增加了10％

The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has rejected the federal government’s proposed 7 percent and 10 percent increase in pensions and salaries, calling it “anti-worker” and “anti-people.”

巴基斯坦人民黨（PPP）拒絕了聯邦政府提議的7％和10％的養老金和薪水增加，稱其為“反工人”和“反人民”。

Chaudhry Manzoor Ahmed, senior PPP leader and Incharge of the PPP Labour Bureau, made this criticism in response to the federal budget, codndemning the government for ignoring the working class and salaried segments, and also the key recommendations proposed by the PPP.

PPP高級領導人兼PPP勞動局的負責人Chaudhry Manzoor Ahmed對聯邦預算作出了批評，這使政府無視工人階級和薪水領域，也提出了PPP提出的關鍵建議。

Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Manzoor Ahmed expressed disappointment over the lack of increase in minimum wage or the Employees Old-Age Benefits Institution (EOBI) pensions in the new budget.

曼佐爾·艾哈邁德（Manzoor Ahmed）在周二對記者講話時對新預算中的最低工資或老年福利機構（EOBI）養老金缺乏增加表示失望。

He said no meaningful relief measures were introduced for workers and pensioners despite the PPP’s recommendations, and the proposal to limit family pension to just 10 years after the pensioner’s death is not only absurd but inhumane.

他說，儘管有PPP的建議，但沒有針對工人和養老金領取者採取任何有意義的救濟措施，並且將家庭養老金限制為養老金領取者死後10年的提議不僅荒謬，而且是不人道的。

“The elderly are expected to survive on air after 10 years of pension to family members,” he remarked.

他說：“在向家庭成員養老10年後，老人有望在空中生存。”

Ahmed also criticized the continuation of the privatization policy with the proposal to privatize Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), calling it an unwise and detrimental decision that will render the national institutions dysfunctional.

艾哈邁德（Ahmed）還批評了私有化政策的延續，以使巴基斯坦國際航空公司（PIA）私有化，稱其為不明智而有害的決定，該決定將使國家機構功能失調。

He said the PPP had previously reversed the privatization of key institutions like Pakistan Steel Mills and Karachi Electric (K Electric), which were initiated by the previous government.

他說，PPP此前曾扭轉過由前政府發起的巴基斯坦鋼鐵廠和卡拉奇電氣（K Electric）等主要機構的私有化。

“We demand the government immediately reconsider the budget proposals and announce a minimum 50% increase in salaries and pensions, along with the merger of all ad-hoc allowances into basic pay, as was done by PPP during its tenure.”

“我們要求政府立即重新考慮預算提案，並宣布薪水和養老金的提高至少50％，以及所有臨時津貼的合併，就像PPP在任期期間所做的那樣。”

The PPP leader demanded 100% increase in EOBI pensions, which currently stands at just Rs10,000 per month, and urged the government to raise house rent and conveyance allowances in line with prevailing market rates.

PPP領導人要求EOBI養老金100％增加，目前每月僅為10,000盧比，並敦促政府籌集房屋租金和運輸津貼，並與現成的市場價格一致。

Ahmed said the PPP Labour Bureau will present all these concerns to the party’s top leadership.

艾哈邁德說，PPP勞工局將向黨的頂級領導人提出所有這些關注。

“We will urge them to oppose the Finance Bill in its current form and prevent its passage through Parliament,” he added.

他補充說：“我們將敦促他們以目前的形式反對金融法案，並防止其通過議會。”
