Minister for Information and Broadcasting Atta Tarar took a jibe at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur for ‘storming’ grid station in Dera Ismail khan.
Addressing a presser in Islamabad, the minister said that if the chief minister could take 100 people to the grid station, he could take 1,000 there.
Attaullah Tarar said that the issues of electricity and line losses should be resolved by the centre and the provinces together, with mutual understanding and cooperation.
“Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is also a part of our country. We all have to come on one page to facilitate the people. The country can develop by solving the issues of power theft and line losses,” he added.
Attaullah Tarar said that some people go to the entertainment places on the eve of Eid and some go to the grid station. “We are not the ones who burnt the bills,” the minister added.
Atta Tarar’s statement came amid escalating tension between the centre and Khyber Pakhunkhwa as Ali Amin Gandapur visited a grid station in Dera Ismail Khan, flipping the switch.
In a presser, the minister said the visit of the Chinese delegation to Pakistan is a proof of trust between the two countries.
