18 IPPs agreements were signed during PTI regime, says Hanif Abbasi

18 IPPs agreements, signed, PTI regime, Hanif Abbasi

ISLAMABAD: In a recent revelation, a total of 18 Independent Power Producers (IPPs) agreements were signed during Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) tenure, ARY News reported on Sunday.

During an interview on the ARY News program ‘Sawaal Yeh Hai,’ Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader – Hanif Abbasi – claimed that 18 Independent Power Producers (IPPs) agreements were signed during PTI tenure.

The PML-N leader highlighted that he had previously spoken against IPPs during the National Assembly (NA) session, insisting that IPPs that are not generating electricity should not receive payments.

He further suggested that the government should only revise the contracts of local IPPs, as they have already earned substantial profits.

“Currently Pakistan is suffering through an economic emergency, and the authorities should consider terminating the contracts of local IPPs,” he suggested.

Praising Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif, Abbasi noted that the PM is tirelessly working to resolve the nation’s issues.

He dismissed rumors that ministers and members of the National Assembly (MNAs) receive free electricity, labeling such claims as ‘bogus’, he emphasized that the PM funds his trips, countering claims of misuse of public funds.

Abbasi reminded viewers that their government could be removed through a no-confidence vote, as per the constitution, similar to how PTI’s government was ousted.

He took a jab at PTI supporters, stating that those who once vocally opposed certain figures are now seeking their favor.

He accused PTI of apologizing for their actions on May 9 and for protesting outside the IMF office, while calling for apologies for allegedly taking money from foreign countries like Israel and India.

Abbasi in his interview condemned the attacks on institutions, asserting that PTI’s founder and his team are supported by foreign enemies with significant financial backing.

He drew a parallel with the Capitol Hill riot in the US, where participants were punished based on video evidence, suggesting that those responsible for the May 9 incidents in Pakistan should also face severe consequences to prevent future occurrences.

Abbasi noted that Rauf Hasan has admitted his connections with India, challenging PTI’s founder to make a statement against the Israeli army chief if there are no external influences on him.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...
