Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Shahbaz Sharif on Saturday reiterated that the PML-N government would end the energy crisis and long hours of electricity load shedding in the country.
Talking to media personnel after meeting Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) chief Pir Pagara in Karachi, the former and future designate Punjab chief minister said the previous government had done nothing to overcome the energy crisis in the country.
He said after coming into power, his party would immediately take all possible steps to produce electricity, adding that Thar coal projects would be activated.
Sharif said PML-N’s federal government would facilitate all provinces to maintain law and order, especially in Karachi and Balochistan.
He said the federal government would coordinate with the Sindh government to restore peace in Karachi which he said was the financial engine of the country.
“PML-N will help local authorities end extortion, target killing, kidnapping and terrorism from Karachi and the rest of the province,” he added.
Sharif vowed to establish a Lahore-like Metro Bus System in Karachi.
“As we promised to the people of this city, PML-N will immediately work on this mass transit system and I offered my expertise and experience to build the Metro Bus System in Karachi,” Sharif said.
He said President Zardari had used his administrative powers in Sindh to interfere in poll results, adding that the real mandate of Sindhi people had been stolen.
Sharif said his party did not believe in political victimisation but people who were involved in massive corruption would be brought to justice.
He said an alliance with PML-F would be in the interest of the people of Sindh and said he had invited Pir Pagara to Raiwind and Islamabad to attend Nawaz Sharif’s oath taking ceremony.
The PML-F chief, on the occasion, urged unification of all factions of Muslim League.
He said all factions of Pakistan Muslim League should be gathered under a single forum for the betterment of the country.
Pagara said he had supported Nawaz Sharif in the past and vowed to support him in the future as well.
