Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) government may have fallen short of expectations, but it’s true that it has achieved more than any other government could in the first 100 days.
Federal Minister for Energy (Power Division), Omar Ayub Khan has revealed that his ministry saved Rs. 13 billion for the national exchequer by cutting off power theft in various parts of the country.
He made this statement on Sunday while speaking at an inauguration ceremony of gas supply to Jalu, Pihaye and Essa areas of Tarbela.

Omar Ayub said he had improved the system in the initial days of the government, and after some time, line losses and electricity theft will become a part of history in the country.

Asad Umer is the son of General Umar ( the main character in Bangladesh Debacle). Imran Khan is the relative of General Niazi ( the same person who we see in the photos signing agreement and surrending in 1971).
Omar Ayub Khan ( another son of the General who destroyed Pakistan with both hands). This whole cabinet has the Army connection.
This government is infact a real status quo. Civilian Martial Law is in full swing. The same sons of Generals and Politicians who destroyed Pakistan in the past are again on the top positions.
