The central workers union of the Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) yesterday vowed to strongly resist the government’s plan to privatise 10 per cent assets of the company.
In this regard, All Pakistan Ittehad Union activists, led by its vice-president Abdur Rashid Shinwari, held a protest walk from Shuhada Chowk to Kohat Press Club and chanted slogans against the government.
Addressing a press conference, Mr Shinwari later said that the government could privatise strategic organisations like OGDCL only over their dead bodies. He termed the government’s plan an economic murder of the labourers.
