2009-02-10
Naib Amir Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Prof. Ghafoor Ahmed said Monday that Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and other political parties would protest against increase in power tariff before the main office of the Karachi Electric Supply Corporation (KESC) on Wednesday. He was speaking at the All Parties Conference (APC) held here at Idara Noor-ul-Haq. Ahmed said that increase in power prices by Rs1.85 per unit has added the miseries of woes of people of metropolis. Pakistan People Party (PPP), which considers herself to be the voice of people has no contact with the people, he noted. He further said that the ruling party has turned its eyes from the grave problem of electricity loadshedding. JI Naib Amir called for government to immediately withdraw its decision about raise in power tariff. On this occasion, APC presented a unanimous resolution seeking immediate end to the ongoing power crisis before the start of summer season.
