Even after 24 hours of the historic breakdown of electricity in the country, electricity has not been fully restored in the entire country, while Federal Energy Minister Khurram Dastgir claimed about 12 hours ago that the process of restoring electricity has started.
Constituents say that it is a joke that Khurram Dastgir is making claims as if an enemy country had cut off our electricity and they have regained electricity under the leadership of the Prime Minister.
Sharing the message on Twitter, Federal Energy Minister Khurram Dastgir Khan has written that “Alhamdulillah, we have started restoration of electricity across the country.”

Paying tribute to the Prime Minister and his team, Khurram Dastgir Khan further wrote that “This has become possible under the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the multi-party government under his leadership.”
Addressing Khurram Dastgir, social circles say that the federal minister will tell what leadership skills were used to restore electricity in Shahbaz Sharif. Khurram Dastgir would like to tell how the leadership has helped restore the grid? Would Khurram Dastgir like to tell whose incompetence tripped up the whole system?
Social circles have further criticized Khurram Dastgir Khan and said that if you have permission, start writing to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as Engineer Shehbaz Sharif.
[] Alhamdulillah we have begun restoration of electricity across the country
This is made possible in leadership of PM Shehbaz Sharif & the multi-party government he leads.
