A Welcome Move
The Frontier Post

Federal government has finally realized the immense importance of augmenting salaries of government servants.
Though, it held the view that there would be 40 billion burden on national exchequer yet it withdrew its previous decision of not increasing the salaries. In the post-budget protest all Pakistan clerical association had protested against the move.
Because, most of the Public sector organizations are run by middle class people. And, the sky-rocketing prices of commodities and double-digit inflation last grave repercussions on their already pathetic lives. yes, I agree with Finance Minister that Pakistan is not in stable condition and cannot bear further burdens on its already weakened economy.
But, it should not be overruled that federal government spends nothing as compared to border security.
It is therefore, necessary to point out that human security should be given the same degree of attention that has been given to border security. If this move had been taken earlier, PML-N would have got more sympathy of Pakistani people. Anyhow, I welcome the delayed taken move by federal government to benefit its servants.
