Supply par tashweesh

Usi din senators ne fuel supply par tashweesh ka izhar kiya, hatta ke Minister of State for Finance and Revenue Bilal Azhar Kayani unhein bata chuke thay ke supply ka koi masla nahin. Pakistan Peoples Party ki senator Sherry Rehman ne sawal uthaya ke kya December mein petrol dastiyab hoga ya nahin, aur Opposition Leader Raja Nasir Abbas ne Middle East mein barhti kashidagi ke darmiyan mayoos kun surat-e-haal se khabardar kiya.
Peer ko US ki qaim maqam sifaratkar Natalie A. Baker ne, Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik ke saath long-term energy supply contracts par muzakrat ke dauran, tanaze ke bawajood fuel ki qillat se bachne par Pakistan ki tareef ki.
