PESHAWAR: Adviser to the Chief Minister on Information and Public Relations Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif has criticized the economic policies of the federal government, stating that the leader who provided electricity at Rs15 per unit is behind bars, while those charging Rs40 per unit are living in luxury.
