Previous Govt's worst negligence, corruption led to excessive load-shedding: PM

Islamabad: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif Friday said the previous government's worst negligence, slackness and corruption led to excessive load-shedding, despite the existence of sufficient power plants in the country.

He expressed these views during his visit to different parts of Lahore city without security protocol, to get the first hand knowledge of the problems faced by people.

Criticizing the blithe lack of concern by the previous government towards problems of common man, the Prime Minister said the PTI government had no sympathy with the masses and was disconnected with them.

In a video clip shared by the PM Office, Shehbaz Sharif is seen sitting on the front passenger seat, clearly visible to the other commuters.

Outside, the bikers are seen chanting pro-government slogans whom the Prime Minister responded by waving his hand.
