On September 1, the official twitter handle of PTI tweeted a two-page list of the EAC. “Federal government has notified the new Economic Advisory Council(EAC). The council includes 11 private sector members and 7 government officials.”
Displeased with the list, many people took to social media to express their disappointment. Most of them stressed on gender equality and urged the government to reconsider the list.
