KARACHI: The federal government is seemingly caught up in a crisis of its own making by either purchasing LNG at a prohibitive cost of over Rs5 billion or let the country shiver and freeze without heating fuel throughout February.
If this was not enough with no alternative fuel, the country may also be forced to generate expensive power through furnace oil. This was said by Shahzeb Khanzada while hosting Monday’s episode of Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath .
Khanzada said LNG tenders for February were opened on Monday in which the companies offered two bids for supplying the gas in the second fortnight of February at 20.8 percent and 32.4 percent cost of Brent.

Lambasting the Pakistan Peoples Party for “endangering people’s lives amid a surge in Covid-19 cases”, a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader on Sunday said that despite using “the Sindh government’s funds and machinery, the rally held in Larkana on the occasion of Benazir Bhutto’s death anniversary was a flop show”.
Once a stronghold of the Bhutto family, Larkana had rejected the opposition’s narratives, said PTI leader Haleem Adil Sheikh. “Not a single person representing the Bhutto family was present on the stage in Sunday s rally. In fact, those who present are the remnants of Ziaul Haq,” said the lawmaker, while talking to media at the Insaf House. Sheikh was accompanied by PTI MPAs Muhammad Ali Aziz (GG), Saeed Afridi, Dua Bhutto, Jansher Junejo, Ali Mirjat, Jam Farooq and Rakesh Kumar.
