FAISALABAD: A nationwide movement was formally launched on September 23 against the government's decision to privatize trains by the Railway PREM Union. Central President Sheikh Muhammad Anwar, Central Chairman Zia-ud-Din Ansari, Chaudhry Mahmood Al-Ahad and Jamil Malik and others left Lahore for Karachi by Karakoram Express Railway to attend the rally in Karachi.

On his way, he was received at Faisalabad railway station by PREM Union workers led by Khalid Mehmood Chaudhry, Muhammad Asif Javed, Zaheeruddin Babar and others. Addressing the audience on the occasion, the leader said that those who claimed of providing 10 million jobs have ended up eliminating them instead of recruiting them for 15,000 railway posts.

Anwar said that the PTI should learn a lesson from the instructive outcome of PML-N and PPP and refrain from taking such steps which would prove to be a bone of contention for them in the future. He said people are forced to starve because of inflation and unemployment. -PR
