PML-N responsible for protest

Holding PML-N leadership responsible for the mass protests against power outages and the subsequent harm done to public property, Governor Sardar Latif Khan Khosa on Monday warned Nawaz party to stay away from political gimmicks under the garb of protests against loadshedding. In a press statement issued from Governor House, Khosa said that PML-N leadership was behind the damage caused to public property during mass protests in different cities. He believed that PML-N leadership was provoking people to come out on streets and set public property on fire. The governor said it was a matter of grave concern that people were damaging public property only for having political differences with the federal government. He said that provinces had also been authorised to generate electricity as a result of the 18th amendment, but no body was questioning them for not adding even a single MW into the national grid in the past two years. He asked Punjab government how many power projects it had initiated in the last two years since the passage of 18th amendment in April 2010. He warned PML-N leadership to stay away from what he called ‘siyasi khhail tamasha’ (political gimmicks) and pay heed to resolution of peoples’ problems.
