Save Our Pak
Pakistan’s Finance Ministry dropped a surprising decision. It cancelled Eid-ul-Adha holidays for its workers. This move has everyone talking. Why would they skip such a big holiday?
The Finance Ministry is in a race to finish the 2025-26 budget. Pakistan’s economy is in a rough spot. Prices for everyday things are sky-high. The trade gap grew by 10.63%, as reported on June 04, 2025. The Pakistani rupee is also losing its worth fast. These problems need quick solutions. Cancelling Eid-ul-Adha holidays keeps workers focused on getting the budget done.
The government is also getting ready for important talks with the IMF. A meeting to lock in a loan is coming up soon. This money could help keep the economy afloat. By keeping staff at their desks, the ministry wants to be fully prepared. But was this the best choice? Could they have planned better? People are asking these questions.
How Are Workers Holding Up?
This decision hit Finance Ministry workers hard. Eid-ul-Adha is a special time for family, prayer, and celebration. Missing it feels personal. Many employees feel tired and unappreciated. Some get why the economy needs urgent work. Others wonder why the budget wasn’t started earlier.
The ministry said workers would get extra days off later. But they haven’t shared a clear plan. This leaves people worried. Will they really get time back? Working long hours during a holiday might burn them out. Employees just want fairness and clear answers.
People across Pakistan have different views. On X, some cheer the government for tackling money problems. Others feel it’s a slap to cultural values. Cancelling Eid-ul-Adha holidays could upset a lot of folks. It might also push other government offices to do the same during tough times. This could hurt morale across the board.
The new budget might raise taxes, like pushing the car sales tax to 18%. This could make life more expensive for everyone. The government hopes these steps will fix things. But they need people’s trust to pull it off.
Skipping Eid-ul-Adha holidays shows how serious Pakistan’s money troubles are. The Finance Ministry is working hard, but risks making workers and citizens unhappy. Will the budget bring better days? Or will it stir up more complaints? We’ll find out soon.
