ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani has said that back
doors to get power have been closed and the government would complete
its tenure.
He was addressing a ceremony ‘Rawalpindi Chamber of
Commerce and Industry (RCCI) Achievement Award 2011’ here in Convention
Center on Tuesday.
The prime minister said during the eras of
Nawaz Sharif and Musharraf even a single megawatt of electricity
production was not added and the incumbent government has enhanced the
production by 3,000 megawatt.
He said that protests would make
no difference as people of Pakistan are wise enough. “Nawaz Sharif
should present some solution instead of attempts to destabilise the
government,” he further said.
The government is taking concrete
steps for controlling the power crises in the country but some people
don’t want its elimination as they want not to give credit to the ruling
coalition, Gilani said, adding that such projects take some time and
nothing is possible suddenly.
Criticising protests by PML-N, he said that the people who have adopted wrong way should be put back on right path.
He called upon the business community to come up with proposal for running public sector including Pakistan Railway.
He
said the government is offering its full support to any proposal for
improving performance of public sector organization including railways,
power sector and others.
He said that the present government
signed Afghan Transit Trade Agreement that would bring fruit in the long
run as it is not limited only Afghanistan but would also be extended to
Central Asian States and other neighbors.
He also distributed awards among member of the chambers for their achievements in various fields and sectors.
Federal Commerce Minister Makhdoom Amin Fahim, RCCI Chairman, members and a number of families were present on the occasion. Online
