PML-N secretary-general Ahsan Iqbal on Sunday derided Prime Minister Imran Khan over the power failure that occurred across Pakistan late Saturday night, saying that the premier had "attempted to reboot the country".
"The country's economy is in the doldrums. We have mounting deficits. Imran Khan thought: 'Why don't we reboot the country like a mobile phone? Maybe it'll work'," Iqbal said, mockingly.
