They added the incumbent PML-N led federal government disappointed to government, semi-government and labour class instead of extending any relief. In the existing price-rocketing, they said that announcing mere 10 percent adhoc relief to government employees was not more than a joke, and urged the government to meet the charter of demands of the AGECC, merge adhoc relief in the basic pay and ensure uniform allowances to employees across the country.
