Viral Letter: Top Pakistan Railways Official Asks For 730-Day Full Pay Leave Citing Boss' 'Ill-Mannerism'

Lahore, August 27: An absurd letter is doing the rounds on social media, where a top Pakistan Railways official has asked for a 730-day full pay leave, citing the attitude of the new minister for railways, Sheikh Rasheed, is "extremely non-professional and ill-mannered". According to a PTI report, Hanif Gul said in his application letter that as an honourable member of the Civil service of Pakistan it is not possible to continue to work under him. "The minister is fully entitled to work with a team that shares his vision." he further mentioned in his letter

Rasheed reportedly chaired a meeting of railway officials, where he rebuked them for telling stories about the department's better performance. He further told them not to praise any minister in front of him. He, on the other hand, has often criticised former railways minister Saad Rafique's performance.

In India, a few months back, another letter had gone viral at Chattisgarh's Raigad district, when a head constable wrote a letter to SP, asking permission to hit his wife and threaten her. The letter has gone viral on social media, and according to it, the constable's wife belongs to upper caste and has a political affiliation, so he is worried that if he threatens and beats her, the woman's family will make a complaint. He also mentioned in the application that he has always obliged to whatever his wife says, but his wife wants to participate in a protest by family members of the Police department in Raipur.
