ISLAMABAD:
The Ministry of Food Security and Research is pressurising Pakistan Agriculture Research Council (PARC) to reinstate employees who were terminated on grounds of illegal appointment made by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) during its tenure.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has already issued decision to terminate 262 employees, however, instead of terminating them, the food ministry moved to interfere in the affairs of PARC in a bid to reinstate those employees who had been terminated in 2018.
