Pakistan Railways official applies for 730 days paid leave

Pakistan Railways Chief Commercial Manager Mohammad Hanif Gul has requested for a shocking 730-day long paid leave. As he do not want to work under newly-appointed Railways minister Sheikh Rasheed.

In a leave application gone viral, Gul has said that he would not want to work under an ‘ill-mannered’ and ‘extremely non-professional’ person as the AML leader.

“As an honorable member of the Civil Services of Pakistan, it is not possible for me to work under Sheikh Rasheed. The minister is fully entitled to work with a team that shares his vision,” Gul said, pointing out at visionary differences too.

Ahmed became the new Railways Minister after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) victory in the 2018 elections. He is the founder of the political party, Awami Muslim League.

Talking to media on Sunday, Rasheed said that railways would be revamped within 120 days.  He said that railways’ deficit would be brought to nil by the end of current year.

The minister also said that he had accepted the challenge to rehabilitate the railways under the vision of Imran Khan and improvement in the freight would be his target.
