Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah paid glowing tributes to the ‘Poet of the East’ Dr Sir Sheikh Muhammad Iqbal on Iqbal Day observance, terming him a great poet and philosopher, who woke up the Muslims of the subcontinent and infused a new spirit and enthusiasm among them through his poetry.
In his Iqbal day message,
Recently, there have been reports that the fear of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) may force the government to back out of its deals with power companies set up under the 2002 power policy.
The purpose is to renegotiate their ‘renegotiated’ power purchase agreements (PPAs) to deduct the alleged excess payments made to the 12 independent power producers (IPPs) from their longstanding unpaid bills.
That is a bad idea as the government will be setting yet another bad precedent for the investors instead of dealing with the real issue: the unwanted NAB intervention in matters that adversely impact policymaking, bureaucracy’s ability to make decisions and investor confidence.
