Statement: Should the railways immediately stop issuing free passes to all its employees? Arguments: No. The employees have the right to travel free. Yes. This will help railways to provide better facility.

Only argument I is strong
Only argument II is strong

The free passes given to railway employees is a privilege for them, not their right. So, argument I does not hold. Argument II seems to be vague.
