Opposition will save people from tyrannical govt through no-trust motion
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Leader of Opposition in National Assembly and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif while rejecting the hike in power tariff said on Saturday that the opposition will save the people from the tyrannical government through no-confidence motion.
In his statement on Saturday, the PML-N president said that Imran Niazi should resign instead of depriving people of essential items with inflation.
“It has been proved in four years that the government has only plans for inflation and corruption, adding that the people could not get relief.”
Earlier today, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) increased the power tariff by Rs3.09 per unit on account of fuel charges adjustment for December 2021.
The FCA for Dec 2021 will be charged with the bill of February 2021, which will be paid by all consumer categories of distribution companies, except for lifeline customers of all ex-WAPDA distribution companies (XWDISCOs).
“While effecting the fuel adjustment charges, the concerned XWDISCOs shall keep in view and strictly comply with the orders of the courts notwithstanding this order,” the notification read.
