Will 2023 bring a day of joy in the life of a private Security Guard?
This is not the story of an impoverished and exploited private security guard.
It is a tale of Pakistan’s callous, cruel and criminal rich.
Here is a private security guard of a leading multinational petrol company. “TOTAL Parco”, at a Karachi petrol station.
Hired through a private security company, his last salary, for December 2022, is Rs.14,000 per month. The Pump owner adds Rs.3000 as an act of personal charity. The guard thus makes Rs.17,000 per month, while the min legal wage is 25k for 8 hrs and 50k for 12 hrs. He works for 12 hours every day, for 30 days a month, without any off day. A day’s sickness means loss of a day’s salary. He is registered neither with EOBI nor with Social Security.
There is no political leader, individual or organisation in Pakistan, who will hold the rich culprits committing not just such unlawful acts but also criminal violence against thousands of helpless private security guards.
The hollow speeches of the politicians, the corrupt social welfare departments, the bribe taking labour inspectors of Sindh (and other provinces) are all a part of a cruel complicity that extracts every penny from the state exchequer and steals every morsel from the poor.
The progress and prosperity of Pakistan, is held back by the plunder of our own greedy self-serving, exploitative elite and our own egoistic power hungry rulers.
Please raise your voice for change and reform in Pakistan.
Please raise your voice for the exploited sanitary workers, private security guards, fuel pump employees and the coal miners of Pakistan.
Let 2023 be the year of change and turnaround – a year that Pakistan and its ordinary people have desperately awaited for a very long time.
