*ISLAMABAD: Federal government has decided to withdraw a decision to increase salaries of the government employees announced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif soon after getting elected to the slot. *
The confirmation came from former Finance Minister during PML-N tenure Miftah Ismail who denied in a message on Twitter that it was a U-turn.
Giving justification of the decision, Miftah Ismail said that since salaries of the federal government employees were raised a couple of months ago, they are not raising them again.
He, however, said that the salary issues will be considered in the next budget. “Meanwhile we raised pensions of retired government employees,” he added.
