A fundamental case has been filed demanding the supreme court to make parliament's decision to increase salaries of ministers and members of parliament null and void.
Seven major trade unions in their petition have named 230 people as defendents including prime minister,225 mps and secretary to the ministry of finance.
Increased salaries
Prime Minister & ministers From Rs.34000.00 to Rs.71500.00
Speaker From Rs.31000.00 to Rs.68500.00
Leader of the opposition From Rs.29815.00 to Rs.65000.00
Deputy Minister From Rs.28750.00 to Rs.63500.00
Member of Parliament From Rs.22100.00 to Rs.54285.00
The trade unions point out salaries of ministers and mps have been hugely increased by the government since first of January.
The petitioners say the decision to increase salaries of ministers and mps was irrational.
