For those congratulating on 2 working days next week, its not about the number of days we work but how efficiently we work. 365 working days Pakistanis < 100 working days of an efficient qoum.

This Govt is confused they are even unable to describe EID holidays properly. More then 90% of private office open 06 days a week but due to their ambiguity the employer called their staff on Saturday
