ISLAMABAD- Opposition leader Khursheed Shah today lashed out at the PML-N government for power cuts across the country as the death toll from the heat wave crossed 800.

In his emotional speech, he linked loss of life in Karachi with power cuts. Earlier, Minister for Water and Power Khawaja Asif gave details of power supply and shortage across Pakistan. Khawaja Asif claimed the federal government is not responsible for the power shortfall in Karachi.

“The government should stop talking about calculations,” Shah said. Shah questioned Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for not delivering on his promise to end the power crisis.

“People are dying and there is no water to wash corpses,” he regretted.
