Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and Member of the National Assembly Asad Qaiser has voiced strong criticism against the ongoing load shedding in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
In a statement, he condemned the persistent power outages, which have intensified over the last three days, leading to the spoilage of sacrificial meat for many residents.
The PTI leader expressed frustration, pointing out that despite the presence of the Tarbela Dam on their lands, the region is still subjected to severe load shedding. He claimed that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are being punished for their support of PTI in the elections.
“We have always upheld the constitution and the law, but the current situation has exceeded all limits,” Qaiser said. He pledged to bring this issue to the forefront during protests and his budget speech on the assembly floor, demanding an end to the load shedding and calling for more affordable electricity.
Qaiser emphasized that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa should not suffer due to political vendettas and urged the government to address the issue promptly. “We do not accept load shedding and expensive electricity; this cruelty must be stopped,” he asserted.
