loadshedding for 12 hours in the cities and for 12 hours in villages continued because of which the factories were shut and workers facing unemployment.
Speaking on the occasion, PML-Q Information Secretary Mian Imran Masood said the tenure of Ch Parvez Elahi was historical one, World Bank also mentioned that tenure often in its reports. He said the present government did not give mega projects to benefit people. He said those who staged drama of using hand fans under shadows of Minar-e-Pakistan to protest against worst loadshedding were taking no practical steps for ending worst loadshedding now, not a single unit of power has been additionally generated during their tenure, against their claims of breaking the begging bowl and sending foreign aid they have only increased the size of the begging bowl, all schemes of their tenure like Sasti Roti, yellow cabs, green tractors schemes all have been eaten away by corruption and people were not benefitted at all, metro bus deficit has reached the level of Rs 1 25 billion while Daanish School deficit has crossed Rs one billion mark.
