However, he said despite these efforts, electricity bills remain unchanged.<br \/>\nHafiz Naeem accused the government of making empty promises about reducing electricity prices and announced the party\u2019s decision to reignite its protest movement. He warned of a looming electricity production crisis as people increasingly switch to solar power due to high tariffs. Regarding national politics, Hafiz Naeem expressed hope for successful negotiations between the government and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).<br \/>\nHe added that public distrust arose when written agreements contradicted verbal commitments.
