A video footage taken from a mobile camera shown on local news channel ‘Samaa News’ witnessed that Asad Umar lambasted his brother Zubair Umar over privatization of PSM .
The footage also shows exchange of words between Asad Umar his brother Muhammad Zubair .
The Privatization Commission blamed lack of funds for his government’s failure to revive the mills’ fortunes.
He said that a proposal was under consideration to lease out the steel mills on a long-term basis, maintaining it was still a better option than privatization.
He said that the government would make a final decision until January 20.
Asad Umar referred to the term of Pervez Musharraf when Steel Mill was making profits. On this Mohammad Zubair objected, leading to a war of words between two brothers.
Asad Umar stopped his brother from interrupting the committee’ meeting and asked him to leave if he wanted so.
“The mill remains closed for a year now as the government has wasted three and a half year,” he said
