Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has said that Pakistan would become a power-exporting country within a few years
“The Thar coal project holds the key to ensure energy security of the country for 300 years and the government is working on fast track basis to exploit one of the largest coal reserves that is a source of cheap power generation. Thermal power plants with a capacity of 1,675 MW are being installed which include Nandipur (425MW) and Guddu (750 MW). Chichoki Mallian (525 MW) will come into the national grid by year 2014 and on completion, the projects would not only bridge the gap between demand and supply but also make Pakistan a power-exporting country,” he said while addressing the passing-out ceremony of the 39th Common Training Programme at Civil Services Academy.
Gilani said a paradigm shift had been introduced in the political landscape of the country through consensus politics based on tolerance for diversity, as nations were built when diversity was accepted as a way of public life leading to peaceful co-existence.
The prime minister said, “I believe that to a great extent, we have been successful in transforming political divide into a culture of political harmony and accommodation. Our mission for achieving consensus on all issues of national interest will continue despite differences, which are usual in a democratic dispensation.” He said that despite global recession, two devastating floods and other challenges, the PPP-led government had made remarkable achievements on many fronts.
“The federation has been strengthened by restoration of the 1973 Constitution; the 18th, 19th and 20th Amendments have brought Pakistan back to a parliamentary democracy; the provinces have been empowered in the real sense through greater provincial autonomy and devolution of powers to them and today they enjoy unprecedented freedom in decision-making, administrative operations as well as financial matters,” he added.
He said that after months of painstaking negotiations, the 7th NFC Award was adopted that allocated a major chunk of economic resources to the provinces.
“Aaghaz-e-Haqooq-e-Balochistan is a sincere effort of the present government to address socio-economic deprivations of people of Balochistan and to meaningfully integrate them into the mainstream,” he said, adding that “under the initiative, we are addressing the grievances of our Baloch brothers and sisters through comprehensive reforms in administrative, constitutional, political and economic sectors”.
He said Gilgit-Baltistan was given self-governance and empowerment, which was a long-standing demand of the people of the region. Gilani said the democratic government was aware of aspirations of people of south Punjab and was committed to the cause. “We are working on ways and means to materialise the demand into reality in accordance with aspirations of people of the area,” he said.
“On the economic front, the PPP government has achieved many milestones and its economic policies will further maintain macro-economic stability,” he said, asserting that for the first time in the country’s history, foreign exchange

  5. May God's wrath be upon you Gilani, your partner Zardari & your family. May you be confined to the deepest pit of hell & may you forever repent but never be forgiven for the crimes you continue to commit against the people, the ones who trusted you.

    May you be set an example for all mankind.

  7. Gillani is the lowest of the low. He is a gutter dweller who, by sucking upto zardari, has become the pm of the country. It also shows the caliber of people who voted him in. I get more and more convinced everyday that you have to come from a pretty pathetic background to believe in ppp. You cannot have more than a third grade education to be a ppp worker and it is a absolute must that you have to be corrupt to advance your career within ppp. A party which can elect a leader like gillani has to be made up of low life scum bags and the jiayalas prove it here everyday. This convict pm is so out of touch with reality that its not even funny.

  8. Does this Gilani know how electricity is produced. Look at this idiot who is saying that Pakistan will be exporting power. Is it a joke to the nation. Dont believe him on bit. He is internationally acknowleged liar. Rember the his interviw when anchor from CNN said to him " Look into my eyes before you answer the question. This person in not working in interest of Pakistan. This the same person on said on international media that he does not care if 30 % of people of Pakistan leave the country Here is quote from him "WHY DONT THEY, WHO IS STOPPING THEM" after sayiing that he had shameless smile on his face. How can you believe what this person says.

  9. If he is producing power with oil we may have to sell our car.. LETS NATIONALIZE IPP AND DISCOS along with their cronies

PAKISTAN APNA KHIYAL TERAY NA HOTAY HOay ZIYDA ACHI TRHA RAKH LAY GA

  11. I think its time enough the pakistani public should do something .There is no gas, frequent cng strikes, 18 hours of load shedding in key districts of lahore where i spend most of the night drenched in my own sweat awaiting the rise of the next day almost sleepless . I am extremely frustrated and such statements from idiots who have done nothing but fill their pockets from laundered wealth since the start only provokes me more. people should come out on the street to get rid of them once and for all. its almost sad that we just sit and tolerate all this nonsense where we should be acting upon making our nation a better place.

  12. Soon as we have enough electricity, I would like to see Gillani and Zardari sitting on a electric chair without the fear of loadshedding.
