Inspite of repeated declarations by the Prime Minister that load shedding during “aftari” and “sehri” would not be allowed, WAPDA cares little for the PMs orders and the load shedding continues unabated.
It appears PM’s orders carry no compliance and the President has to call for a special meeting to resolve the issue. What good is the PPP “Jiala” as PM if the president has to call the shots which are squarely the ambit of the PM.
Does the constitution allow the president to operate in a presidential system without amendments in the constitution?

I wish to divert government’s attention towards load shedding in the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is meant to be a peaceful and soothing month which gives satisfaction and purify all Muslims physically as well as spiritually. As per our religious ritual, we have to keep fast from early morning till sunset for one complete month of Ramadan.
Although we resist ourselves, but this resistance is not troublesome for a Muslim, rather it is more like a gift from his Creator.
But unfortunately, our government creates worse environment for us through load shedding during Sehr, Iftar and Traveeh time.
This results in igniting frustration in people and takes them away from the true meaning of fasting. I request to government of Pakistan to reduce load shedding at least during Sehr, Iftar and Traveeh time.
If our request will be accepted, it will be a great favour for every Muslim all over Pakistan, as they will be able to live and rejoice this holy month of satisfaction and purification. I hope authorities will seriously implement over this issue.
