18th Amendment issue over, time to deliver now: Altaf

LONDON: Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain, felicitating the government and parliament over unanimous passage of the landmark 18th Amendment, urged solution of basic problems facing the nation.

He expressed these views while speaking to members of Rabita Committee and International Secretariat here on Friday.

Hussain called upon the government to take urgent measures to address the real issues of power crisis, food shortage, inflation, employment and price hike.

He said the load-shedding issue was getting worse day by day, forcing the people to take to the streets in protest. He felt that effective steps were not being undertaken by the government to deal with the issue.

The developed world was taking advanced measures to generate electricity on regular basis, he said and added that was the need of hour to replicate the approach of developed nations to end power crisis.
