PPP Central Information Secretary Taj Haider, in a statement issued here, claimed that 99 staffers of Port Dock Master (PDM), working on mooring and un-mooring exercise, were asked by the authorities to go home, when they returned to work after Eid holidays, as the section was privatised.
He charged that it was absurd to privatise such vital national assets like the KTP and criticised the concerned federal minister for pushing the innocent workers of Karachi into joblessness "though his party misses no chance to claim as proponents of interest of the Karachiites".
He demanded of the authorities to shelve the process of privatisation and confirm the services of sacked 99 staff members of the Port Dock Master.
