Press Release
Gas load shedding and CNG crises:
The real issue is not the Gas shortage; in fact these rulers are diverting the people's attention from the American war

The government has contracted itself to erect one crisis after another. At a critical time, when Pakistan has become a target for the Blackwater mercenaries, ongoing military operations in Waziristan, Orakzai, Bajaur, Mehmand, Malakand and Khyber agencies under the American diktat, Northern Waziristan is handeds over to America where she is conducting drone attacks with full impunity and thousand of Muslim family are stranded and are forced to live in the open in this extreme cold weather; the government is creating one crisis after another to divert the attention of Muslims away from the American interference in Pakistan. Hence its "danger to democracy" rhetorical drama that the government trumps up at times while at others she plays havoc with people's lives through load-shedding of Gas and electricity just to keep people busy in their problems.

As for as this current gas crisis is concerned; it's nothing but a complete farce. Even now the Sui Southern Gas Company has excess production (Surplus Gas) which is not being used. This should be borne in mind that the CNG sector only use 6% of the total Gas consumption of Pakistan whose requirements are not difficult to fulfil. Currently the government uses 35% of Gas for electricity generation which can easily be substituted with low cost alternatives of Coal, Water and Air which are abundantly available in Pakistan. Pakistan current potential of Hydro electric generation is 50,000 MW, Wind generation 50,000 MW and from coal its several hundreds of thousands Mega Watts, while our need is much less than 20,000 MW. In fact the real issue is not the Gas shortage; rather it's another U-Turn by these corrupt and treacherous rulers. It was these rulers who promoted CNG 10 year ago and after 2.5 million cars are converted to it, people invested billion on 3000 CNG stations, hundreds of thousands of families bread and butter depend on this sector; now they want to bulldoze all this after receiving "revelation" from IMF. These rulers who themselves burn 500 litters of free petrol in each car each month crave to loot the hard earned income of hundreds of thousands of families.

O Muslims! These rulers are not your worth; their only desire is to please their foreign masters and fill their pockets. Eject these rulers to establish Khilafah "Caliphate" that will not only rescue Ummah from these artificial crises but real crisis that Ummah face today and convert this region into the graveyard of the Americans.
