Zardari, Bilawal pledge support for working class National May 1, 2021 ISLAMABAD: Former president Asif Ali Zardari has said the Pakistan Peoples Party will continue to protect the rights of workers. “Today workers, farmers and government employees are in extreme financial difficulties while the selected government has usurped the rights of workers employed in government industries including Pakistan Steel Mills, PIA and Railways and they are worried about their jobs,” he said in a statement on the eve of the May Day. He said the founding chairman of the PPP, Quaid-e-Awam Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, had given the workers the right to form unions so that labour unions could collectively raise their voice for the rights of workers. He said today farmers are worried because they are not getting return for their crops and labour. Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto always raised her voice in favour of workers.
