The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has strongly rejected the Nepra formula, terming it a decision that would burden the masses with additional hardships instead of providing relief.
In a statement released from Islamabad, PPPP Secretary General, Syed Nayyer Hussain Bukhari, urged the Prime Minister to reject the Nepra formula in the interest of the people.
Bukhari criticized the government for announcing the decision without discussing it in the relevant parliamentary committees, stating that no institution is above parliament. He demanded that the matter be thoroughly discussed in parliament, and the opinions of members be taken into consideration.
The PPP leader described the Nepra formula as akin to enmity with the consumers, saying that buying electricity at one rate and selling it at a much higher rate of Rs. 30 per unit is nothing but exploitation.
He further stated that placing an additional burden on those who have installed solar panels is unjust. The people are already reeling under the pressure of inflation, and the PPP will raise its voice on every forum to address their issues.
