Govt to form commission to investigate petroleum sector losses during PTI regime: Abbasi
The PML-N leader says the commission’s investigation would be open to the public
Islamabad: PML-N senior leader and former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Thursday announced the coalition government was forming a commission to probe "massive losses" in petroleum sector in the tenure of former prime minister Imran Khan.
Flanked by Planning and Development Minister Ahsan Iqbal, Abbasi told a press conference that the commission would be constituted to examine the losses in the petroleum sector and would investigate the wrong decisions taken by the previous government.
The PML-N leader said the commission’s investigation would be open to the public, adding that reasons for the increase in circular debt would be bought forward.
“The country lost millions of rupees due to the decisions taken by Imran Khan and his cabinet,” he stated.
Ahsan Iqbal said Pakistan was currently going through the "worst energy crisis". “Prolonged load shedding is affecting the people and industries,” he maintained, adding that Imran Khan due to delay in decision making pushed the country towards this crisis.
The minister further said it was because of Imran Khan and his agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and that the coalition government had to take tough decisions.
