In a statement issued here, Barrister Murtaza Wahab said that there is a need for long-term relief measures for the people.
“When we (PPP’s Sindh government) think of relief, we also think of many options. What will happen after two months of relief to the people of Punjab?” he asked
Barrister Murtaza Wahab also criticised the Punjab government’s approach, saying that rulers should make long-term decisions, not ‘short-term’.
He said that high electricity is a national issue, saying that provincial cards should not played on it. He said that the Sindh government is generating 5,000 megawatts of electricity and supplying it to the national grid.
