Pakistan
People of Sindh are also entitled to Rs14 per unit of electricity relief
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader and MNA Dr Farooq Sattar has said it is a discriminatory move to extend power relief to Punjab only.
Addressing a press conference on Monday, the MQM-P leader said Karachi paid the highest taxes and only Punjab had been given relief which was a discriminatory move.
“People of Karachi and Sindh are also entitled to Rs14 per unit of electricity relief,” he said, adding that people in Sindh paid Rs64 for per unit of electricity and there was not a single penny discount for them.
