An assistant session judge has approached the Sindh government against deductions from the salaries of the government employees for flood victims, terming the deductions as unconstitutional. “Sindh High Court has already made deductions in the month of June,” he said, adding that the government employees rely on their salaries and the harvest. On Thursday, Pakistan Army officers and all federal cabinet members have announced to donate one month’s salary to flood victims. According to the statement issued by military’s media wing, army officers have deposited one month’s salary in the flood relief fund while others are also giving financial donations on a voluntary basis. On the other hand, all the members of the federal cabinet have announced to donate one month’s salary to PM’s flood relief fund.
