Awami National Party (ANP) Senator Zahid Khan and State Minister for Water & Power Abid Sher Ali exchanged abuses after the latter blamed Pashtuns for electricity theft.

According to details, during a meeting of Senate’s Standing Committee for Water and Power on Friday, Senator Zahid Khan and Abid Sher Ali exchanged hot words when the state minister alleged that Pashtuns were involved in power theft.

The ANP senator asked Abid Sher Ali to avoid such blames upon which the state minister said he was not blaming but placing the real facts and figures.

Abid Sher Ali also asked Khan to avoid politicking in the committee meeting and to play role for stopping electricity theft instead.

Upon the altercation between the two, representative of Sindh stood up and criticised both members, saying in each and every meeting, the KP issue was discussed and the committee had no concern about Sindh and its people.

He stressed upon the need of discussing issues faced by Sindh province as well.

After intervention by other members of the standing committee, the issue was brought under control and all members took their seats.

  1. This is the problem with this country. Whenever some minister starts working honestly and taking bold steps to overcome corruption, some Zahid Hamid-Like-High-Minds always make fuss on nothing. Abid Sher Ali used the word KPK that is inhabited by many other people and not only Pakhtoons but Zahid Hamid Sahib stupidly is bent on alleging them.

    • punjab is 65 percent of pakistan and power theft is in kp.ASTAFGHAR
      abid sher ali and ganjas are rich due to electricity from kp.

    • abid is taliking about power theft…why not they talk about tax defaulters and other corrupt practices in which panjab is leading??? they can see only power bcz they have an easy reason to point fingers towards others…pakis know well how much they are honest with this country,,your rozy words cannot hide the truth…soo plzzz

  2. We should be realistic. Power theft is very common throughout Pakistan. May be percenatge of theft is high in KPK but power theft in terms of "electricity units" is much higher in Punjab and Sindh, (being the major users of electricity)

  3. why electricity is stolen as unit made at ten paisa is sol at 25 rupees to people.its more expensive than singapore and dubai.which country is more rich?.

  5. This is the mental level of most Ministers and politicians. One cannot argue without reason and logic.Both are missing here.

  7. i am not Pathan but i would like to say that all Pajabi think Pakistan only belong to them actually they are the real mugger and thieves. they malign all pakistani all over the world i can't say that i am pakistani whenever someone ask me in foreign countries because all pakistani are famous because of theft, fraud and lier. all these act committed by panajabi in foreign countries. Even they killed all pashtoon by foreign terrorist just for money

  8. Zahid khan is one of the most upright,honest,patriotic and a man of integrity in Pakistan politics.Difference of opinion on issues is not bad,it’s the manner you put across your point of view and deal with others’ difference of opinion.That could be good or bad.

  10. Let me tell you after reading everyone comments…….We all should condemn all the thieves whether it is from Punjab or Sindh or KPK or Kashmir. Just think that if a Province is unable to stop theft, than more laoad shedding should be faced by them. I belong to KPK but I know only HAZARA Divion is paying the bills, Pathans are not paying their bills properly, too much theft in Pathans area. Same is the case with Balochistan and Karachi. Only Interior Sindh is paying the bills, all MQM is not paying the bill, why? My friends if you and me will not pay the bill than do not ask for electricity.

  11. punjabis are biggest theives of power.if these daaleater ,punjabis using our electricity and gas why can,nt we use their wheat?
    Punjabis are stealing everything from pashtunkhwa.wake up pashtuns and kick these evil out of ourland free pashtunistan
