  1. Perhaps the PM should sack himself for his role in the rental power scam and the Fed Sec that headed the Water & Power sector when he was the Minister for Water & Power. Does he remember role of Syed Jamaat Shah whom he appointed as head of Pakistan Indus Comm?.

  3. Good move by the PM! His timely action will solve all our energy woes! Now that the power crises has been solved, maybe he should fire the defence secretary and the insurgency that has plagued our countrywould whither away! Or even better he should fire Zardari, and Pakistan would turn into a prosperous nation!

  4. This SOB P.M should sack himself. He is the main reason for energt crisis in the country. God help pakistan when dirty Raja Rental is P,M and Zordari is president
