KARACHI: Senior leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and former finance minister Miftah Ismail on Wednesday warned that the country could face a severe energy crisis next month when the shortage of liquefied natural gas (LNG) could worsen.
Mr Ismail blamed the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government for the situation that could develop due to what he termed incompetence of the government, while adding that “a few [members] in the federal cabinet” were exploiting the situation “for their personal gains”.
Addressing a press conference at the Karachi Press Club, he said that the “business managers” of the PTI government had brought the country to a situation where it had no other choice but to face the crisis supplying the most expensive energy resources to the people who were already under immense pressure of food inflation.
