KARACHI:Central Information Secretary PPPP and member of the National Assembly Shazia Atta Marri said on Friday that the decision of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) led government regarding increase in the power tarrif by Rs4.30 per unit is a shameful and anti-people act, and Pakistan Peoples Party strongly condemned dropping electricity bomb on the poor masses and demanded of the government to withdraw its decision.
This she expressed in her reaction while slamming the government decision to raise the prices of electricity tarriff her today. Marri said that Imran Khan was looting the pockets of the people by increasing prices of the electricity tarriff and he had been implementing such decisions on the dictation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the country.
She added that If Prime Minister Imran Khan would remained in the power, people would have to sell their utensils in order to pay the electricity bills and even to light up a bulb in their houses. She claimed that the farmers’ march to be observed on 21 January would shake the foundations of Imran Khan’s government. She said that a long march would be held against the worst economic policies of PTI-led government across the country on 27th of February under the leadership of chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Imran Khan would be held accountable for his policies by the people as they will reach at Islamabad.
She observed: “The current federal government has mortgaged the State Bank of Pakistan to the loan giant International Monetary Fund while the members of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government are being held accountable by the people of their constituencies.”
