THATTA, Oct 9: A former messenger of the National Bank of Pakistan has appealed to the Governor State Bank of Pakistan and the President National Bank of Pakistan for the restoration of his job to provide justice to him.

Speaking to newsmen, Gul Hassan, son of late Khamiso Samejo, said he served at the NBP Jati branch from 1992 to 2000.

In the end of 2000, the branch manager, Mohammad Siddique Thaheem demanded a bribe of Rs20,000 from him to regularize his job which he managed to give by selling a cow.

Only the next day of payment, he claimed, the manager relieved him of his job on the pretext that his tenure of service had ended a few months back. He said the bank official told him that the amount would be adjusted against the overpayment, the bank made to you incidentally.

He said the NBP high ups restored his job and asked to join the duty. He said when he reached the bank to resume his duty, the manager asked him to get out.

Since then he was shuttling from pillar to post to get justice but in vain.—Correspondent
