Islamabad: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday vowed to steer the country out of the energy crisis. Addressing the media here, the prime minister hoped power shortage of Karachi and the rest of Pakistan would be eliminated by 2018.
In about three hours of Press talk, the prime minister recounted the achievements of his government, the plans for development and progress in the remaining two and half years and even beyond.
He attacked Pakistan Tehriek-i-Insaaf chief Imran Khan accusing him of adopting a negative approach to national development and attempting to disrupt his government's plans in this context. The prime minister particularly mentioned his Kissan (farmers') package and criticised Imran for securing stay from the election commission to suspend the programme. He said Imran has harmed the interests of small farmers just to advance his own political agenda.
The PTI reacted immediately to the Press conference terming it as an attempt to influence Sunday's by-election in violation of code of conduct.
PTI senior leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi described it as a public meeting in the guise of news conference and wrote to the election commission to take notice.
The premier said projects in the past have been plagued with kickbacks and for the first time there was an opportunity to complete a project at half the price of the Nepra tariff.
The prime minister said the government was working on energy generation projects and several of those would be completed by 2017. The projects would be built at a savings of Rs110 billion, Sharif said. According to the prime minister, the farmers' package had become subjected to political victimisation because of a few people.
He called upon farmers to ask those opportunistic politicians opposed to the package why their lives were being ruined. He cautioned that the Pak-China Economic Corridor should not be politised.
The premier answered criticism of the metro bus project saying the government had established a way people could travel with safety and respect. He said a metro train project would also be launched for the city of Lahore.
Sharif brought attention to how the metro bus was being used to take children to school.
