CHASHMA, (MILLAT+APP): Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif on
Wednesday criticizing the previous governments for pushing the
country into darkness of loadshedding said “those responsible must
be questioned over their grave negligence”.
“They must be asked for bringing in an era of darkness in
Pakistan and giving the nation a curse of 18-hour electricity
loadshedding a day,” the Prime Minister said in his address at the
inauguration of Chashma-III nuclear power plant, completed with
assistance of China.
The Prime Minister said an uninterrupted supply of electricity
was a lifeline for the continuity of industrial activity in the
country, which suffered a severe setback due to power crisis.
Nawaz Sharif said the country was now coming out of its
troubled times with the completion of development projects on full
pace, improved economy and law & order situation.
He said since everything was going on in right direction, all
the political sit-ins and agitation were simply useless.
“Do not create hurdles and put Pakistan’s interests ahead of
your personal ones,” he asked the politicians.
He said such attempts were meant to interrupt the journey of
progress and urged upon the political parties to rise above mutual
differences and work in the interest of Pakistan.
Nawaz Sharif said ending loadshedding was the government’s top
priority and termed completion of Chashma-III nuclear power plant
another milestone achieved towards zero-loadshedding.
“The commitment to rid the nation of electricity loadshedding
by 2018 will be fulfilled Inshallah, for which I am personally
overseeing the power projects.”
