Lahore: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz criticised Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah for his remarks calling reduction in electricity prices “Foolish.” Addressing an event here, where she honoured top-performing students, Maryam Nawaz expressed her disbelief at CM Murad’s comments, questioning priorities of Sindh government.

During ceremony, Maryam Nawaz awarded cash prizes, medals and certificates to position holders and urged them to respect and serve their parents and teachers. She highlighted that electricity relief provided in Punjab-Rs 14 per unit reduction for two months-was not short-term measure but part of larger plan to introduce solar energy project that would permanently reduce electricity bills for consumers. In response to CM Murad’s criticism, CM Maryam Nawaz remarked, “I laughed when I heard someone say it’s foolish to reduce electricity prices. Isn’t it foolish to pocket money from corruption and spend it on protocol, planes, helicopters and convoys while denying relief to public?” She emphasised that the relief in electricity bills for two months was source of pride and happiness for her, adding that she wishes such relief could be extended to all of Pakistan, not just Punjab
