PPP won't 'allow' privatisation of SOEs: Bilawal

The SOEs carry the blood and sweat of labourers and we would not let anybody to compromise on it, he added. Bilawal was addressing a labour seminar organized by the Peoples Labour Bureau at a local hotel. He said the government was claiming that the economy was on the right track and both the Moody's and other international institutions are admiring it but then the government starts compromising on the economic rights of labourers in its talks with the IMF.

He said the judiciary is independent and it would not let anyone privatize the national institutions. "We would not let this puppet government to sell SOEs like we did not allow Musharraf," he said and added that the PPP would protect the rights of labourers.

He said the time has come to join hands for the protection of the rights of labourers. The only one way to avoid financial murder of labourers is to constitute a people and labourer friendly government.
