Sindh giving ‘political colour’ to ‘gas issue’: SAPM
Says he had presented complete production and consumption data of June 2020 of Sindh in the meeting of CCI in August
ISLAMABAD:
Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Petroleum Nadeem Babar on Tuesday stated that the Sindh government was trying to give “political colour” to a “serious economic issue” by presenting “distorted and misleading” figures about the production and supply of gas in the province.
Addressing a news conference along with Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz after the federal cabinet meeting, the SAPM noted that the Sindh chief minister, in a letter written to Prime Minister Imran Khan, had mentioned that the province produced around 2,500-2,600 MMCFD (Million Cubic Feet per Day) gas and received only 1,000 MMCFD gas, which was contrary to the factual position.
