PM pledges to control price hike, electricity shortage

Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Sunday said the PPP-led government would control price hike and energy crisis. Addressing a workers convention at Circuit House, Multan, Gilani said that government had initiated mega projects like Bhasha dam, Thar coal and CASA-1000 to overcome the energy crisis. The workers convention began with recitation from the holy Quran and later the participants offered Fateha for the late Hakim Ali Zardari, father of President Asif Ali Zardari, and the party workers including Khawaja Yasin, Munir Ahmad Khan and others who had died recently. The Prime Minister said the PPP would enjoy clear majority in the Senate in March 2012 which he hoped would set the tone for the next general elections in 2013.
