The country’s ongoing power shortage was also brought up by the finance minister, who noted that current generation levels are below the necessary 30,000, but expressed optimism that the problem would be resolved in the upcoming weeks.

Miftah Ismail claimed that the PTI government failed to release LNG tenders in a timely manner, which is why there is currently a shortage of liquified gas, and blamed the Imran-led government for the power problem.

Major LNG producers throughout the world are now supplying Europe with LNG as a result of the continent’s reduction in its usage of Russian gas, and the fuel is in short supply for other consumers.

Miftah Ismail added that the administration is actively pushing the use of solar energy and that a nuclear power plant would soon be put into operation.

He also criticized the PTI for attempting to block the free electricity program that Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shahbaz had initiated.

While Imran helped real estate magnates, according to Miftah, he is opposed to aiding the less fortunate sections of society.
