The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Sunday condemned alleged conspiracies against world’s largest CNG industry worth Rs 450 billion by some influential quarters.
“A lobby continues to misguide government in the CNG issue headed by an official of a gas company who is considered above the law,” said PEW President Dr Murtaza Mughal.
In a statement issued Sunday, he said that the gas theft has reached alarming proportions but the said officials cannot be held responsible due to his political connections. He said that the same lobby has been trying to frustrate LNG import project while the gas is purchased on inflated rates for personal welfare and dishearten the millions of consumers.
