Energy crisis to end in few months: Gilani

MULTAN: Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Sunday said the government will control the gas and electricity crisis in the coming months.

Addressing a ceremony in connection with birth anniversary of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto here, he said the government will continue with the support of the people and will carry forward the mission of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto.

He said conspiracies against the government were foiled as the coalition partners of PPP stood with them. "We will fulfil the promises made by the Bhutto family with the people of Pakistan," he added.

He said the coalition government restored the constitution with the support of the people. He reminded that Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto gave constitution to the country and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto gave the missile technology.

For the defence of the country, constitution and PPP as a federal party are indispensable, he added. He said Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto boosted the sense of dignity of the people and now all bigwigs come to the people seeking their votes.
