Sindh and Punjab have taken the same stand on the issue of the Employees' Old-Age Benefits Institution's (EOBI) and Workers Welfare Funds (WWF) assets, said Sindh Labour Minister Saeed Ghani on Wednesday.
Addressing a press conference, Ghani further stated that given the pandemic situation, it seemed unlikely that schools would reopen in January.
Retaliating to special assistant to the prime minister on overseas Pakistanis and human resource development Zulfi Bukhari's comments, which he gave after the provincial labour minister accused the Centre of 'unlawfully' seizing the EOBI and Workers Welfare Fund, Ghani reiterated that the Council of Common Interest (CCI) was not authorised to overturn a provincial law.
