Pakistan: PTI govt protects power thieves: Abid Sher Ali

State Minister for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali has alleged that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government was providing protection to power thieves in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Geo News reported. Addressing a press conference here Friday, Abid Sher Ali said KP Minister Shah Farman himself was involved in power stealing. He said there were more than one billion line losses in Farman’s constituency. The state minister demanded of the provincial government to ask Farman for resignation. He said PESCO officials are being thrashed and kidnapped for ransom in KP, adding that various feeders in the province were incurring billions of loss to national exchequer. Abid Sher Ali said dams were not the personal property of anyone but the property of the people of Pakistan. Abid advised PTI chairman Imran Khan to build new dams if he wanted free electricity. ‘You cannot get electricity without payment,’, he added.
