PML-N leader Miftah Ismail on Monday said his government was fully capable of resolving energy crisis under the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
\nReplying to the statement of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader and former federal minister Hammad Azhar, Ismail said the people would see a clear difference between the performances of his party and of the previous government.
\n\u201cNo doubt we are faced with severe economic challenges but the PML-N is determined to revive the country\u2019s economy,\u201d he added.
\nHe said it was the government of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) which installed modern in-expensive power plants, generated electricity from cheap coal and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and overcome loadshedding.
\nDuring the last tenure of the PML-N, he said the electricity lines were laid down to improve the power transmission and distribution system.
\nThe project was aimed at reducing losses in the distribution and transmission of the power sector, which was unfortunately shut down by the government of PTI, he added.
\nHe regretted that the \u2018incompetent\u2019 government of PTI had halted all energy projects that eventually caused losses to the power sector.
\nHe expressed the confidence that the PML-N government would now again start working on the improvement of the electricity supply and distribution system.
\nMiftah said PTI leaders had always lied to the nation that several power plants were operational in the country, adding that If there were sufficient plants already existed then why there was a power shortage and the country plunged into darkness.
\nHe said PTI should explain about installation of new 8000 megawatt power plants and energy projects under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) during its tenure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
