And over the last 30 years, every leader in a position of power is responsible for destroying Pakistan.No one made any effort to stop these robbers in broad daylight, yet they call the people thieves.

Why we failed to apprehend the situation a nation? Kot Addu power Plant was Govt. owned power plant. It was later privatized. Will any one in Govt explain what nation earned by its privatization?

Renegotiation with IPPs is only solution once they get PAY BACK of these projects many times already.
