LAHORE: A bar member on Thursday approached the Lahore High Court (LHC) seeking fixation of the minimum wage in Pakistan equivalent to $1,000 per month.

The petitioner Fahim Nawaz contended that the minimum wage in the United States and United Kingdom is fixed at US$1,000.

He, therefore, asked the court to direct the respondents to set minimum wage at US$1,000 per month.

He also asked the court to suspend the notification regarding the current minimum wage in Pakistan.
