The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Monday said leaders of the PML-N had started disappointing masses through their statements.
“Masses have voted the PML-N to power to lessen their difficulties and not to take note of their fictional statements which are adding to the disappointment,” it said.
PEW President Dr Murtaza Mughal said Ddjected and highly demoralised masses deserved to see a difference between the incumbent and the former corrupt rulers.
He said some recent statements regarding load shedding and energy crisis indicated that the federal ministers were speaking the language of the powerful lobbies that might have financed their election campaigns.
Mughal said one of the federal ministers had targeted the CNG sector, levelling allegations of theft against it while conveniently ignoring influential sectors responsible for annual theft of around Rs 250 billion of electricity and natural gas.
Majority of CNG stations involved in theft of natural gas are owned by PML-N and PPP leaders. Some influential owners of CNG outlets will never pay gas bills amounting to millions of rupees but would enjoy uninterrupted gas supply even during the load shedding.
“The PML-N government should make public the names and political affiliation of such CNG outlets and take strict action against them according to the provisions of law,” he demanded.
Mughal said the PML-N leaders should not issue hollow statements and put their pre-election words into action as reliance on speeches could trigger suspicions among masses about the aims and objectives of the new leadership.
“PML-N will lose popularity if important ministries continued to follow the footsteps of former adviser to the PM on petroleum and natural resources who was a Canadian national,” he warned.
According to data of a gas distribution company, the PML-N and the PPP politicians from Sheikhupura, Hafizabad, Lahore, Sargodha, Kharian and Peshawar were prominent among those involved in gas theft.
Moreover, two top PPP leaders from Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had not paid bills of their CNG filling stations and industrial units since years.
A former chairman of a textile body from Lahore was held in gas theft of Rs 72 crores while former chairman of the same association from Peshawar was held for stealing gas worth tens of millions through direct connection.
It remains a challenge for the incumbent government to public names of culprits based on data from gas utility and inform masses about the action taken against them.
Why is it not a surprise, why did these people vote for PMLN when we already knew they are little better than the absolute corrupt i.e. PPP.
True! I fail to understand why our people voted a two time loser back into office
This shows dubious mandate for PML-N
I am surprised that you believe that people voted for PMLN to bring them to power. Man, it was 'jhurloo, as usual. People know these two parties very well but nothing will change unless miracle happens in this land of the pure to let people elect their representatives freely and fairly. There was a possibility in the last elections but N league knew that it was a do or die chance for them and they put all their efforts and resources (and tricks) to DO than to DIE.
I am surprised that u said PMLN is a little better than PPP. PMLN is product of absolute corruption formed by MNAs elected on non-party basis in 1985 elections by gen ZiaUlHaq. Huge bribes were s to form into PMLN. While PPP developed out of people's struggle and later turned into PMLN like corrupt party. The very foundation of PMLN is on corruption.
LOL hoor choopoo. This nation deserves nawaz and zardari.
The last government totally left the barren and empty land for the new government, we can only sit here and criticise them because we are unable to do anything, So please if you can't hope for best then you have no right to criticise them.
The last govt also said the same thing about her last govt. Why did not u accept their statement then? Why r u accepting the same thing only now.

The very foundation of PMLN is on corruption. After 1985 MNAs of non-party elections were bought thru bribes by Zia govt to form PMLN.

Dr. Murtaza, your frustration is understandable, you did not get a bone thrown at you yet from days old government. Good luck. Are you looking for magical solution that don't exist in real life?
Same old Pakistan nothing changed.Very illiterate nation even they know performance of PML-N especially in Punjab which was guide for nation but been beggar nation always vote for elite leaders thats why nation suffers.Problem with nation is they don't thought lessons from past which is main problem.Still its new government so lets hope it can perform better as time passes.
While PMLn thought rigging will bring back them to power, it did! What it didnt do people who didnt voted for PMLn still outnumber voters of PMLn in reality so masses are already against them before they even took oath! the voters who voted for them will turn against them after getting zardari back in power with Nawaz Sharif face!
People Didn't Vote They Won By Rigging In Pakistan People Don't Want To Come On Road That's Why They Are Silent. Or PMLN Didn't Take Action Against Any Thing Just Talkie Mood . We Want Work Not The Dialog
People are getting what they voted for. Nothing surprising, same old do nothing people in charge and will be for the next 5 years. Absolute nightmare.
If the winning party wants to please the public then start by bringing all of the looted wealth stashed in UK. Complete the IP gas pipeline ASAP & watch the power shortages disspear. Learn to say NO to the countries that don't want a prosperous Pakistan. But none of this will happen as the interferring countries will keep topping up the bank accounts of PMLN in UK & other Europeans countries Switzerland is one name comes to mind.
annual theft of Rs 250 bn, wow, and no one is arrested. Where is the CJ?
Too busy counting his share…Remember his son got Rs 3Bn of that that we know off and was declared "innocent" by CJ's court….
No PML-N is not "disappointing" — it is acting JUST AS EXPECTED!!!!
PMLN IS AFRAID OF PRESIDENT ZARDARI,IF PML N WRONGLY STEPS.PRESIDENT WILL DISSOLVE ASSEMBLIES AND MAY BE DECLARED EMERGENCY.THAT IS WHY PML N IS PLACING NON-SENSE BISP IN THE CURRENT BUDGET.IT IS ALREADY DECIDED TO INCLUDE THIS PROGRAM IN THE BUDGET.BUT OUR NATION IS VERY INNOCENT AND THIS IS THE TIME TO PROTEST OVER THIS ISSUE.TAXES RELIEF MUST BE GRANTED TO GENERAL PUBLIC AGAINST THIS AMOUNT OF RS.75.00 BILLIONS OR OTHERWISE PML N WILL LOOSE ITS POPULARITY.
BISP OF PPP MUST BE DELETED FROM CURRENT BUDGET AND AGAINST YHIS HUGE AMOUNT OF RS.75.00 BILLION,THE BURDEN OF TAXES MAY BE GIVEN TO GENERAL PUBLIC.BISP IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ANY COST AND WE PROTEST OVER ITS INCLUSION IN PMLN`S BUDGET.MAY BE ONLY TO PLEASE AND MAKE HAPPY TO PPP PRESIDENT ZARDARI.
