he doesn't care if the poor have no fan no light he definitely has his AC system up & running!

what the hell?????

why they are delaying the project??????

One should take this offer with both hands, there is immediate need and also it will take 3-4 years to turn it into reality and start supplying electricity to the people.

The more time they will waste the more loss of pakistan as the demand will grow more and more and economy will be at loss and there is more unemployment.

This government is completely useless, incompetent and corrupt. I bet the Iranians didn't offer Zardari 10% of their earnings, hence he's taking his time about this.

Hmmm,at first I thought it was the 1100MW deal Iran offered us, but its a different one I guess. Man, What is Zardari and his government waiting for! He is probably being ignorant to the protests in Pakistan over power shortages!

It may not be a refusal but a delay to bargain with US about the civilian nuclear deal. US is against Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline and now we have Iran's electricity offer. May be they want to see what US has to offer before making their mind. The Pakistani government does not want to raise VAT tax as per IMF because it will hurt business community and their reelection prospects. But they don't give a damn about 12 hour electricity black outs in major cities of Pakistan. Pakistani government must immediately accept Iran’s 1,000 megawatts of cheap electricity offer. There were also reports of electricity being imported from Tajikistan through Afghanistan few years ago.

After Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's hanging and Benazir Bhutto's murder the Sindhis may not like Asif Zardari also not dying of natural causes. So it is better to have Zardari continue as president without any major political powers.
