Government slammed for prolonged load shedding

Jamaat-i-Islami chief, Syed Munawar Hasan, has condemned the unannounced loadshedding and power crisis, saying that this is due to the incompetence and obduracy of the government. He said that the rulers, who were squandering public money on personal luxuries, were not paying the bills of power generation companies amounting to billions due to which these companies were closing down. As a result, load shedding duration has increased resulting in closure of industries.
The closure of thousands of factories and industrial units had already caused massive unemployment. Munawar Hasan said that the masses, who were already overburdened by the menace of price hike, had to face prolonged load shedding during the day and the night which hurt the common man and seriously affected the studies of the students.
