ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has blamed the PTI government for the worst loadshedding in the country for not taking timely steps.
In a statement, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that Nawaz Sharif’s government had ended the worst load shedding in five years but PTI government did not buy fuel on time and did not repair power plants.
He said that the reason for loadshedding was not purchasing fuel on time and repairing power plants, adding that costly power generation was a burden of Rs100 billion per month on the citizens.
The prime minister said that we are correcting the issue of loadshedding.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mian Shehbaz Sharif had expressed anger over the increase in loadshedding in the country and ordered a significant reduction in loadshedding by May.
According to a local TV, PML-N President and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has issued strict instructions to take steps on emergency basis to reduce loadshedding.
He has clearly said that efforts should be made to save the citizens from the inconvenience caused by the negligence of the previous government and the interim measures should be improved till oil and gas is arranged.
Shehbaz said that till the people get rid of this torment, he will not sit idle.
He said that Nawaz Sharif had provided ample amount of surplus power in the country but Imran government had not added a new unit.
Criticizing the former prime minister, he said that fuel was not procured in time and factories were not repaired. Nation has to pay Rs100 billion every month as a price for the past government’s blunder.
According to the TV, Prime Minister Mian Shehbaz Sharif said that earlier an LNG ship was available for Rs6 billion but now the LNG ship is costing the nation Rs20 billion.
Mian Shehbaz Sharif warned that this tyranny of Imran would cost the nation more than Rs500 billion this year. A conspiracy was hatched to destroy the energy sector and bankrupt the economy, he said.
