We'll stop power supply from Tarbela if centre cuts our electricity: KP minister
123
PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mushtaq Ghani has said that the province will not be paying electricity and gas bills along with federal taxes and if utilities are disconnected to the province, power supply from Tarbela to Punjab will be stopped.
Speaking to Dawn, Ghani said provincial taxes will be collected as per routine but the public will not be paying any federal taxes along with electricity and gas bills.
He said the civil disobedience movement was against the corrupt and incompetent federal government and not the government managing the province.
Responding to a question, Ghani said that if the centre dared to disconnect power supply to KP, the province will have the right to stop supply from Tarbela which falls within the provincial jurisdiction.
He added that civil disobedience will be practiced countrywide except in KP.
The minister said the KP government has never been implicated in any case of corruption which is why civil obedience will not be practiced in the province.
Ghani said this is a peaceful way to change the government and we want to register our protest without causing any bloodshed.
The minister said the PTI government was not ignorant of its responsibilities, adding that it was aware of the situation in KP.
“We are dealing with both governance of the province as well as our protests effectively,” Ghani said.

I think this is right as KP Govt is the only one elected fairly. There is no point paying anything to any other Govt which was elected through rigging and loots public money so blatantly.

Not someone nominated by a political party ( As it is right now). There has to be someone who steps up to do damage control or at least have the intention to fix it. Unfortunately the current govt has no vision for changing things around or perhaps its simply beyond their capacity. Coming out on streets is now part of our political culture.. but i hope all this political circus has a positive ending.

This is the most unwise comment I have heard in last few days, and the person exceeds in arrogance to their rivals from PML(N). PTI with vote bank in both provinces should become a source of unity between them, but it seems that their is lack of vision with regard to nation building. The absurdity of logic for not paying the federal but still collecting the provincial is beyond reasoning and will only allow the opposition within their own province to do the same. Beside further dividing the country this will only allow PML N to become stronger in Punjab. Would have been much better if he had put pressure on the government for something achievable and more significant like improving systems for; justice, tax collection, accountability, electoral reforms, etc.

Please Imran, your personal hatred for Nawaz Sharief and ego and stubborn-ness is effecting Pakistan. What kind of Pakistani are you?

Whose property is Tarbela? Better still why not ask India to cut off water to these dams?

Imran Khan desperately needs some sleep. The man has nothing left, he should gracefully accept his failings. His bluff didn't work. He should take pride that at least he tried.

There is no price for the pearls of wisdom coming from PTI jiyalas, one from my PTI frined: "I once read a quotation that 'Brilliance hits a target that no one can hit, Genius hits a target that no one can see.' Imran's masterstroke against Sharif is such an act of genius that the entire nation is unable to see the target that it has hit."
For God's sake, why dont PTI people use their heads. They support each and every decision by Imran Khan who did an almost political suicide yesterday. God save Pakistan, and with that number of PTI geniuses, im afraid its hard time for Paksitan

@Adnan Umer A good question to ask from the ones in support of the corrupt! "Isn't 65+ years of being ruled by the corrupt and stupid enough for you?"

Does anybody know how much money has the country lost so far because of these senseless acts. Both IK and Qadri wants to be PM, how is that going to happen. It is high time that army steps in stop all this nonsense. Does IK know that daily wage earners are not earning anything because of him and possibly families are going hungry. Is PTI providing funds for these people. Enough is enough.

@Azam
And what exactly do you propose to do once you get into the Red zone? IK will stop the corruption and everything is going to be wonderful? How does he (or Quadri) propose to do this? The problem in Pakistan is not just that the government is corrupt, it is that everyone is corrupt, from the big business people to the smallest worker. Everyone has a justification for not following rules. The people who don

If you do that no one will notice. Instead of 18 hours power cut, it will be 20 hours. Big deal!
