Asad Umar clearly mentioned that PTI wants to convert country’s electricity producing units from furnace oil to coal.
ISLAMABAD: This is with reference to your editorial “PTI’s economic policy” (August 27). It seems that sometimes the PTI is criticised just for the sake of it. The editorial states that the PTI has promised that “the cost of producing electricity will be reduced, even though not a single politician in Pakistan has any control over the international price of oil”.
The editorial fails to note that Asad Umar clearly mentioned while unveiling the party’s economic blueprint that the PTI wants to convert the country’s electricity producing units from furnace oil to coal and other indigenous resources, which will bring down the cost of producing electricity as the reliance on oil will go down. Is this too hard to understand for the critics of the PTI?
