Chairman of the PFMA, Chaudhary Muhammad Yousuf stated, “Members of the central executive committee of the association unanimously approved the decision of the token strike in a meeting. The meeting further resolved that the mills in Punjab will also go on indefinite shutter down strike from next Monday (May 5) if the token strike does not make Sindh food department to allow free movement of wheat from interior Sindh to factories in Karachi.”
