GUJRANWALA, Sep 11 (DNA): The energy minister has heralded that the fuel
adjustment charges in the electricity bills will almost be vanished from
next month while blaming previous government for bloating power tariff.

Talking to media in Gujranwala on Sunday, Federal Energy Minister
Khurram Dastgir Khan said that the previous Imran Khan-led government
ruined country’s economy through its unsagacious policies and people
were bearing the brunt of its myopic economic vision.

He said that every inflated electricity bill bore the stamp of Imran
Khan. He held that the former prime minister even sold the State Bank of
Pakistan to the International Monetary Fund. He also demanded to know
where the money collected in the previous regime for constructing a dam
had gone.

He said the country was facing unprecedented floods and large-scale
destruction while the PTI was spending billions on public rallies.

“If you have enough money to hold rallies, then you should spend this
money on the rehabilitation of flood affectees,” he added.

He said that the PTI had staged a drama in the country. They have
nothing to tell the people about the progress they had made in their
four-year stint, the minister maintained.

He said had Imran been an able chief executive, he would have done
something for the country. But it’s not the case, he said adding that
the PTI chief was only good enough to level allegations against others.
He lamented that the PTI was doing politics of threats and anarchy in
the country.

He said that the coalition government had put its political repute at
stake to save the country adding that the PTI could not be trusted as
the resignations of its members were fake, its leader was a liar and
they told lies every time.

“The true face of the PTI will be revealed in cases of Farah Gogi,
Toshakhana, Malam Jabba and the BRT,” he maintained.

On destruction caused by the recent floods, the energy minister said
that the electricity system was severely damaged during the recent
deluges. He, however, said that the electricity had been restored in
flood-hit areas. He informed that most of the damage was done to the
electricity polls erected near the rivers.

Taking a swipe at PTI zeal for public rallies these days, the minister
said it was time to help the flood affectees, and not the time to do
politics. DNA
