Lahore: Senior leader of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and leading constitutional expert, Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan, on Wednesday supported the stance of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz-led Punjab government over the load shedding issue.
Talking to journalists at Lahore High Court, Aitzaz said that the stance of Punjab regarding the recent unprecedented spiral in the load shedding especially in Punjab was justified.
Aitzaz, who has been sidelined by the incumbent PPP leadership due to dissenting views over different policies of the government, said that electricity pilferage was less in Punjab as compare with other provinces. He disapproved the federal government allegations against PML-N and Punjab government that they joined and orchestrated the anti-load shedding demonstrations with mela fide intents.
He expressed disappointment over the resolution adopted by the recently held All Parties Conference (APC) in wake of US allegations and threats, saying that neither sovereignty of the country could be safeguarded nor drones shot down through resolutions. He was of the view that Taliban and al-Qaeda were trying to impose their agenda.
