The Lahore High Court here Thursday sought replies from Pepco and Lesco in a petition against exemption of power outages to VVIPs personalities by July 23. The petitioner Jamatud Daawa chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed approached the court against VIP and VVIP culture in Pakistan.
His counsel A K Dogar also filed a civil miscellaneous application on Thursday and added another prayer in the main petition challenging the power outages' exemption to the ruling class. Dogar argued that all the citizens were equal before the law and no privilege could be granted to any personality under the Constitution. He said the exemption of loadsheding to VIP and VVIP personalities in the country was a clear violation of fundamental right of other citizens.
He prayed to the court to withdraw the impugned exemption and all the citizens of the country should be treated equally. In the main petition, Hafiz Saeed stated that no privileges of any kind including free electricity, gas, petrol, telephone etc should be provided to any person from public exchequer.
