All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS) regrets Wage Board chief’s statement

KARACHI- The APNS expressed complete surprise at the contents of a press statement issued by the chairman Wage Board, appeared in a section of press on October 14, 2000 and termed it as a misleading said a spokesman of the APNS.

A statement released by the APNS recalled that the meeting held on October 13, 2000 in Lahore was clearly an informal meeting and hence no press statement by the chairman Wage Board was required.

It is regretted that the main issue discussed in the meeting related to the assurances on procedural terms and conditions for the smooth working of the Wage Board as sought by the APNS was not mentioned in the press release.

The chairman, instead, emphasised on the confidence reposed in the chairman whereas in the meeting neither such issue came under consideration nor any member expressed confidence or otherwise in the chairman in his capacity as the head of the Wage Board, the press release clarified.
