Summary Munawar says it is the worst drone attack by PML-N govt on the masses since it came into power.
LAHORE (Online) - Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Syed Munawar Hasan and JI Secretary General, Liaqat Baloch have strongly condemned the fresh raise in the electricity tariff and said this was the worst drone attack by the PML-N government on the masses since its takeover.
In a joint statement, they warned that the sharp rise in prices resulting from this raise would cause a fresh flood of price rise which could even throw out the rulers from the echelons of power.
Calling for the withdrawal of the fresh raise, the JI leaders said the latest raise was directly related to the IMF loan, adding that the IMF was a Zionist controlled body whose mission was to ruin the industry and agriculture of Pakistan and the Muslim world.
The JI leaders said that per unit raise from Rs. 2 up to Rs 6.59 besides five different taxes practically meant increase of Rs 10.
This was a serious blow to the masses and would increase the cost of production of industrial and commercial institutions many times, and bring another flood of inflation.
They said the tyranny of the rulers had crossed all limits. They said that the electricity tariff in the country was already high and the new raise would have disastrous consequences.
The people were already starving and committing suicides, while some had been forced to sell their dear ones for a few coins.
If the present situation continued, the people would find it expedient to stop the use of electricity.
