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.

The Sindh High Court directed the federal cabinet secretary on Tuesday to immediately convene a meeting for addressing the delay in the issuance of 2017 census results.
A two-member bench, headed by Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, issued the directive while hearing pleas pertaining to delays in the release of census results and in turn, the local government (LG) elections.
The court also issued a notice to the Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP), seeking a progress report on the ordered meeting.
At the hearing, a petitioner s counsel lamented the delay in LG polls in Karachi, at which the deputy attorney general told the court that the matter of the issuance of census results had been addressed and the relevant committee had sent its recommendations to the federal cabinet.
