PML-N slams PTI government for latest increase in power tariff

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb on Saturday criticised the government for the latest increase in the power tariff.

Aurangzeb hit out at Prime Minister Imran Khan in a series of tweets sent through the party’s account, saying the premier has become “bad news” for the nation.

Using Prime Minister Imran Khan’s catchphrase “ghabrana nahi hai” (don’t worry), Aurangzeb hit out at the prime minister in reference to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority's decision to increase the electricity tariff by Rs0.26 per unit.

The spokesperson said Prime Minister Imran Khan, "asks the people not to worry after throwing an inflation bomb on them every month". 

“For 15 months, liars, incompetent, and inefficient [people] have been ruling the country, and then they say 'ghabrana nahi hai'.”

The former information minister said in the first 15 months of the incumbent government's tenure, employment, business and the economy has been “shut down” — "yet he says, 'ghabrana nahi hai'." 

She further accused the prime minister of “stealing” votes, electricity and gas bills.

"Lying is the only thing Prime Minister Imran Khan and his incompetent team have managed to make cheap," she said.
