Isn’t it a fit case for a Suo Moto action as was done in the case of high sugar and petrol prices in the last PPP era?
Dooms day for the honest people in Pakistan
In India Petrol price cut by Rs 3.05 per litre, diesel to cost 50 paise more
(A Times of India news published on 30 Sept. 2013).
Now, look how exactly on the same day, PMLN’s government has treated the Pakistani nation, by increasing the electricity rates by 30%, instead of reducing the petrol prices.
The only argument with the PMLN’s government for increasing the power rates is that how can expensive electricity be supplied at a less rate? This argument does not hold water, in the face of the fact that instead of recovering electricity bills from those people who are involved in power theft, at an ultra massive level (above 40% line losses as per NEPRA), the government has adopted the easy way of recovering the enhanced bill, by punishing those 60% honest bill payers, who have never been involved in the power theft.
Today is the dooms day for the honest people, who deserved a reduction in petrol prices. have been punished by historic rise in the power bills.
Since, this democratically elected parliament has again failed to shield the masses from the tyranny and excesses of the government, the people are fully justified in looking towards the others to to come to their rescue.
