When PPP wanted to raise electricity tariff, PML-N opposed it. When PPP government wanted to raise GST, PML-N refused it. In fact, they always advised the government to raise revenues by curbing corruption and inefficiency. Now, PML-N is doing exactly what PPP proposed. The objective of PML-N was to fail PPP government and get a chance to replace them. As far as the loss to the nation is concerned, the people from Jeddah & London could not care less. Aren't they the real traitors???
