Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has congratulated the PPP Punjab chapter for staging jointly with other political parties protest rallies and sit-ins in the province against mounting load shedding in the country in the month of Ramzan.
“I am pleased with your initiative for organising protest demonstrations on Friday in the province against load shedding along with all opposition political parties,” said the PPP chairman in a message to Punjab PPP President Manzoor Wattoo.
“We must continue to highlight incompetence, poor governance and corruption of the federal government in meeting the energy challenge,” the message added.
The avoidable deaths of hundreds of people in Karachi due to heat has been caused largely by the inability of the K-electric to honour its performance pledges and the inability of the federal government to make the utility meet its licensing conditions to avoid load shedding, he said.
The PPP chairman recalled that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government on assuming office over two years ago had promised to end load shedding in six months but after the passage of more than two years the power crisis worsened on one hand and the circular debt increased on the other.
“This is nothing but a manifestation of sheer incompetence, poor governance and corruption,” he said.
When in the opposition the PML-N had raised hue and cry over the Nandipur Power Project and the circular debt, he said and asked where the federal government today stood on these two issues.
Bilawal also felicitated all political parties and the people for raising their voice against unbearable load shedding in the country.
