Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Monday that the country is being ruled by a gang of thieves and will be taught a lesson in the general elections of 2013.
Talking to a delegation of workers of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz from Green Town, Township and other adjoining areas at his tent office, he said that this gang of thieves has brought the country down to its knees and the people of Pakistan must be avenged.
He said as result of extreme load shedding, millions of people have been rendered jobless and many industries have suffered because of the electricity shortage. He called this bout of load shedding to be the worst ever in Pakistan’s history.
He said that two projects at Chicho ki Malyian and Nandi Pur aimed at generating 900 megawatt of electricity could not be made operational because of incompetence and corruption of the federal government and the machinery imported for installation of these projects is lying in Karachi for over one and half years while the Chinese company has left Pakistan.
He pointed out that these projects cost Rs 70 billion, but operations had never started and now in order to reactivate them an additional amount of Rs 20 billion more would be needed and two more years would be lost.
Shahbaz says he will ‘teach thieves a lesson’
