Holding the Punjab government equally responsible for the energy crisis in the country, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Wednesday that provinces had been empowered to produce electricity after the 18th Amendment, but the Punjab government did nothing in this regard and Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif was accusing the Centre to hide his own incompetence.
He was addressing a press conference after a ceremony organised at the party’s central secretariat, where Mufti Abdul Qavi, who is the chairman of the Madaris Ahl-e-Sunnet and sajjada nasheen Khanqah Chishtiyan, joined PTI. PTI President Mukhdoom Javed Hashmi and Senior Vice President Shah Mehmood Qureshi were also present on the occasion.
Imran said the appointment of “Raja Rental” as the new prime minister of Pakistan was a matter of shame for the masses because President Asif Ali Zardari had appointed Raja Pervez Ashraf as the new PM to conceal his Rs 6 billion corruption. Imran said the PTI would not contest the election in the NA-151 constituency vacated after the disqualification of Yousaf Raza Gilani by the apex court.
Imran said the Punjab government had also failed to produce even a single megawatt of electricity during its four-year tenure. He said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)-led government was as much responsible for the crisis as the federal government.
The PTI chief said that the creation of Pakistan had been pointless if the country failed to become an Islamic welfare state. He said the country had been founded on the idea of becoming an Islamic welfare state, adding that originally there was no concept of welfare states in Europe and that they had taken this concept from the Muslim world. “They formed all the Scandinavian states based on this concept. They call it Omar’s law there. We need to bring our culture back to our own land.”
Speaking on the issue of drone strikes, the PTI chief said that he was happy to see former US president Jimmy Carter’s criticism on drone attacks. “Carter openly criticised [US President Barack] Obama’s drone campaign and termed it as assassination. He said that it was not only a violation of international laws but also humanitarian laws.”
FAISALABAD RALLY: Separately, the PTI staged a rally in Faisalabad against electricity load shedding. Addressing the rally, the PTI chief asked the traders and youth to gear up for a long march towards Islamabad against the worst power crisis in the country’s history.
While criticising the Punjab government’s role, he asked PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif to tell the people how much money he had paid in electricity bills for his textile companies.
He said that Nawaz was fighting a “Noora Kushti” (fake wrestling) with the government because he was afraid of the PTI’s increasing popularity.
The PTI chief also harshly criticised President Asif Ali Zardari over his “bad” governance. Imran said the new prime minister, Raja Pervez Ashraf, had not been brought to serve the masses, rather he was brought to serve Zardari and protect his corruption.
With Imran Khan 100%
Imran!!
with ZARDARI 🙂
LOL, that was good joke
With PPP
PPP- the one established by ZAB? Dude where is it,do tell me because the one we see in power is not much like that, in fact it is a party of morons.
Pagal ho gaya hai. Jahan jata hai sirf NS and SS hi yaad atay hain isay
Ofcourse with Imran Khan, the ultimate Leader.
I k
Sarkar is mulk me 9 saal musharraf aur 4 saal se ppp ki government hai …..and still he believes SS responsible
Very true Hassan altaf awan…
4 saal se SS ki hakumat hai Punjab mein..aur 18th ammendment k baad aik MW bhi nhn generate ki Khadim e Ala ne!!
Imran Bhai.. SS toh sirf roads and flyovers hee bana sakta hay!! 😛
Asteefay dein pehlay…. Phir baatein karein…. Wahan toh jaan see chali jaati hay!
Khan should stop being cry baby over Sharifs; he is haunted by N-League; badly needs a Danda Peer
its so wondering why he never talks against PPP, MQM, JUI, ANP, Q-League which are true parasites on us
It is wondering what why you have never bothered listening him criticizing PPP and the coalition… :O
Shehbaz is best, truly representing punjab’s case….

Well that's stupid. There are two projects, one of 450MW and one of 550MW ready in Punjab by the Punjab Govt. But its machinery has been held by Federal govt. This issue has been talked in newspapers and by analysts. Without cooperation of Federal govt., provincial govt. cannot do shit.
Lastly, there are 3 other provinces as well. But Imran Khan seems blind in all other cases. There is thar in Sindh, many sports for small energy generation in KKP, and solar opportunities in Baluchistan… PTI should be rationale. They are blind in there hate against PML-N
100% right…Shehbaz Sharif has been doing topi drama for all these yrs..For 3 and hald yrs they had this same PPP in their coalition govt in Punjab and they did nothing for energy production and now near elections he is trying to shift whole responsibility on federal govt..
PPP zinda abad. Partisan judiciary NO
Now Punjabi judiciary has replaced Punjab dominate army to undermine democracy. We r with PPP in its struggle against non-representative state institutions who want to impose their will on publically elected parliament.
WE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF PPP STRUGGLE AGAINST NON_REPRESENTATIVE STATE INSDTITUTIONS
We support PPP
oh seriously? We have this stupid Islamist trying to justify the radicalization of our youth. People like Imran Khan end up being the reason behind terrorist organizations such as Jamiyat in PU. This is what your Islam says? Shame!
PPP is struggling against the institutions who r imposing their will on parliament and oversteping their legal limits. We r with PPP.
We r against biased media and courts crossing legal boundaries, and we support PakistanPP
Irresponsible Adalia(Courts) Murdabad, PPP long live

"the country had been founded on the idea of becoming an Islamic welfare state" where did he get that idea? Not that I disagree with the Khan's vision.
I thought that Pakistan was founded to protect the rights of minority muslims in India and also pledged to safeguard the rights of all other minority groups.
