Nepra report belies govt’s claim: JI

LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami Information Secretary Amirul Azeem has said Nepra report had exposed the government claims regarding ending loadshedding in 2018.                 

Speaking at an Iftar dinner hosted by JI Mansoora circle, he said since 2013, the rulers had been claiming that loadshedding would be completely ended by 2018. However, he said, the Nepra report had clearly stated that power crisis would not be over by 2018, hence the rules’ claims in this regard were false and an attempt to fool the masses.

Amirul Azeem said all big electricity thieves were sitting in the government and as long as the government did not kick them out, the line losses could not be controlled and the problem of loadshedding could not be solved. He said the prime minister had personally announced that there won’t be loadshedding at Sehr and Iftar time during Ramazan but the people had to face loadshedding even at Sehr and Iftar times.

He said the rulers were intentionally keeping the people in the dark through false slogans. However, he said that the masses would not believe the rulers anymore. He said that the government which could not fulfil any of its promises during the last four and a half years, could not be expected to do wonders during the next six months
