Unless things have been turned around at those PSE's (or are in the process of being turned around), the largest loss making PSE's drain almost as much as the entire defence budget in annual losses, and Pakistan would be better off privatizing them even at rock bottom prices.
The GoP would probably attract interest from domestic/Arab/Chinese bidders if it indicated a willingness to sell at low prices, and still end up saving a ton money annually from not having to deal with the losses and the rampant corruption (thousands of unnecessary politically motivated appointments at the PSE's).
It will a hugely unpopular move at least with workers of those PSEs ..because privatization of loss making firms, results in lots of pink slips and slog hours ..govt might loose a major portions of their vote banks
