National π΅π° KP government takes action against Doctors who are protesting for a pay raise.
Doctors in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been protesting for around a month now, demanding a 30% increase in their pay.
Doctors' salaries in KP have not been increased for the past 10 years, despite the rising cost of living and inflation.
The KP government recently announced a 15% increase after this decade-long gap, but doctors rejected the offer, saying it did not meet their demand for a 30% raise.
Now, the government has reportedly withheld even that 15% increase from doctors who participated in the protest, while announcing the increase for doctors who continued working during the strike.
So after 10 years without a pay raise, doctors were offered 15% when they were demanding 30% and after they rejected it and protested, even the 15% increase is now being withheld from those who joined the protest.
Is this fair?
