CHASHMA: Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday criticizing the previous governments for pushing the country into darkness of loadshedding said "those responsible must be questioned over their grave negligence".
"They must be asked for bringing in an era of darkness in Pakistan and giving the nation a curse of 18-hour electricity loadshedding a day," the Prime Minister said in his address at the inauguration of Chashma-III nuclear power plant, completed with assistance of China.
The Prime Minister said an uninterrupted supply of electricity was a lifeline for the continuity of industrial activity in the country, which suffered a severe setback due to power crisis.
Nawaz Sharif said the country was now coming out of its troubled times with the completion of development projects on full pace, improved economy and law & order situation.
He said since everything was going on in right direction, all the political sit-ins and agitation were simply useless.
"Do not create hurdles and put Pakistan's interests ahead of your personal ones," he asked the politicians.
He said such attempts were meant to interrupt the journey of progress and urged upon the political parties to rise above mutual differences and work in the interest of Pakistan.
Nawaz Sharif said ending loadshedding was the government's top priority and termed completion of Chashma-III nuclear power plant another milestone achieved towards zero-loadshedding.
"The commitment to rid the nation of electricity loadshedding by 2018 will be fulfilled Inshallah, for which I am personally overseeing the power projects."
