What a paradox! – provinces cannot agree on water distribution rights and our PM is talking of Asia’s biggest hydro plant – where is the water? Rivers are running dry with prepetual shortages during Rabi and Kharif.Recommend

Promise was made,
load-shedding would be finished within year,
but, in the contrary, load-shedding has extended to unleashed.

Such minister shouldn’t be in the cabinet, resign forthwith,

The person, who has failed to show credibility or efficiency in planing and policies has no right to rule over the nation as a minister,
Raha Ashraf is not a qualified in nature so should go to home.
Nation is on the right side when demand his resignation.
why he keep the nation in darkness by saying lie ?Recommend

It is very hard to convince foreigners to invest in Pakistan in the electricity sector because of existing circumstances by the reference of insurgency and terrorism which has expended to the populated areas.

It is right to say,prime minister Gilani is able head of the government have saved the country from many political ups and down in the past and now my considered opinion is that he should invite the ruling parties of every province and collected on one point agenda by negotiations and in this way take the nation from the present crisis.Recommend
