(24News) Former Federal Minister of Commerce Gohar Ijaz has said that take electricity from whoever gives cheap electricity, it is not the government’s job to do business.
While giving a press conference in Islamabad, Gohar Ejaz said that if the people have money, then the business will run. Business will run only when the people have money.
He said that if the bill we are receiving is sent honestly, it will be half of the current price. Houses are closed for many years, they are also being given crores of rupees, I have won the case of the industry earlier on the issue of electricity price, today I have come out with the case of the entire nation and the business community.
Gohar Ejaz said that in the name of capacity payment, they are receiving so much money without generating electricity, a forensic audit of the contracts with IPPs should be conducted, today PIA is in loss, the government should form a task force, we are plaintiffs in this case. They said that I don’t know under which policy the rulers are controlling the inflation, 40% tax has been imposed on the salaried class which should be reduced to 10%, we ask the government to reduce the electricity unit by 16 rupees, we all today. President is going to Pakistan.
The former federal minister said that the presidents of 40 chambers of the federation are present here, the officials of the entire federation are also here, everyone is saying the same thing, we cannot run business at this price of electricity, the entire business community is one, we are not involved in any kind of politics. No relation, Gohar Ejaz further said that if the rate of electricity remains the same, then the situation will become very difficult, today we are only saying, when all the institutions will be closed and the workers will go home, then what doomsday will come. I will not talk more about this.
