ISLAMABAD: PMLN President and National Assembly Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif has termed the State Bank of Pakistan’s report and NEPRA’s State of Industry Report as powerful endorsement of PMLN’s stance and irrefutable proof of the PTI government’s lies.
In a statement Shehbaz said the loss of $ 500 million (Rs. 83 billion) to the national exchequer in just three months was evidence of the Imran government’s crimes. This government bought 30 percent expensive LNG from the market, adding more burden on the nation, he said. The National Accountability Bureau was sadly blind to all this and was busy digging up contracts and agreements done half a decade ago, he added.
“This NEPRA report had proven that everything PMLN told the nation was true to the last detail.
Instead of operating economical power plants, the nation was robbed by generating expensive electricity which multiplied problems due to low production capacity and expensive power plants. Running these expensive power plants increased the financial burden and debt on the country, which incurred more loss to the people and the country”, Shehbaz said.
