LAHORE: A Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT)’s special report revealed that the PML-N government had plundered over Rs15 billion on the Nandipur Power Project, saying that the government’s coal-based power projects and signing of Memorandum of Understanding in this regard was a big fraud aimed to hoodwink the public.
Raheeq Abbasi, PAT central leader, said alleged the government plundered over Rs 15 billion on the Nandipur Power Project which is a closed issue now. He said that according to the report the sincerity of the government can be gauged from the fact that Rs 10 billion are required for the Neelum-Jhelum Power Project which the government cannot come up with but it can come up with Rs 100 billion for the Metro Bus Service only because it will grab billions of rupees in commission from this bus projects.
He stated that the rulers have also started screaming about the power projects based on LNG that would also be proved a fraud. It said that for the last two years, federal and provincial governments of the ruling PML-N kept singing the tunes of coal based power projects which were a mere eyewash and a total fraud and were only to grab commissions from foreign companies.
