The employees of Regional Tax Office (RTO) Lahore continued pen down strike on Wednesday against the proposal of promotion of senior auditors as Assistant Commissioner (Inland Revenue). President Federal Revenue Alliance (FRA) employees union, Mian Abdul Qayyum led a demonstration in front of the RTO to condemn the decision which according to them would stop the promotion of income tax (Inland Revenue) employees.
Qayyum while talking to Business Recorder claimed that total strike was observed in all the regions across the country except Karachi. He claims that no work was done in Lahore, Sialkot, Rawalpindi, Islamabad and anywhere in the country. He said that they were also in constant liaison with FBR employees from Karachi to convince them to join FRA in its struggle.
He said that customs wing of the FBR might also be joining them soon in this effort for acceptance of their demands. He said that if their demands were not met in a few days then the Union would lock the offices across the country and would not let anyone work. "We may go even for hunger strike to press the FBR high ups for acceptance of their demands," he added.
