All these protesters are wasting their time. PMLN is trying hard to resolve the electricity crisis. SS said he will resolve the issue in 6 months, as soon as the ministry is given to SS from Kh asif, we will see improvements (I mean SS six months start from when he is given the ministry).
This is no time to be agitating. If people are feeling too hot, then they can take a ride on the metro bus to cool down. They also have the canal to jump into.
Half our govt has gone to Saudi to pray for Pakistan...what else do you people want?
I would like to ask all the literate and wise Muslims a very simple question: Having scattered and worst situation in tribal areas, lawlessness in karachi and other problems like target killings, inflation and load-shedding all over the country, what is the status of PM's visit to Saudi Arabia in order to perform Umrah? Letting people die and performing divine's duty is just and fair?
@Adnan Siddiqi: This is the real face of your experienced gorvenment. And you have the guts to criticise the PTI led government who have just finished their first year in government in comparision to the decades of mughal rule by the PMLN goons. What a shame!
And i heard CM Showbaz saying that Punjab is free of Loadshedding. I think what he meant was that since there is no electricity then how can there be any load shedding.
