‘Three Es’ plan: PML-N unveils ambitious plan to end energy crisis
By: Abdul Manan - Published: August 6, 2012​

LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Sunday unveiled a roadmap to drive the country out of the current crises in the three main sectors of energy, economy and education – the ‘three Es’ – including a pledge to make Pakistan one of the top 10 economies of the world.

Celebrating the country’s 65th independence day in advance, since PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif is scheduled to leave for Saudi Arabia later this month, his party introduced a new logo at an event titled “We will change Pakistan” in which only the party’s top office-bearers from across the country participated.

Taking a jibe at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Nawaz termed slogans of changing the country within 90 days the ‘biggest lie of history’.

Without actually naming the PTI but referring to the party’s manifesto, the former prime minister warned the country’s youth against falling into the ‘trap of lies’ and urged them to support the PML-N — insisting that no one could end the country’s current crisis within 90 days.

Elaborating the new ‘three Es’ plan, he said that his party has completed its draft recommendations in the sectors of energy, education and economy which the PML-N would implement on the first day after coming into power.

Nawaz pledged to end load-shedding within two years if his party won the next general elections. He also vowed that he will make Pakistan one of the top 10 economies of the world, and said that in three years the state of education of the country would be equivalent to that of the developed world.

“I have prepared a package for industrialists and interest-free loans for youth which [we will offer] from the first day of [our] government across the country,” Sharif said.

He lauded the role of the judiciary and said Pakistan should stand proud since the “rule of law” was being exercised in the country. Lashing out at the incumbent government, he said that Pakistan has fallen prey to rampant corruption.

“Our country now remains energy starved and terrorised because of us and not others. Time has come to stand up and support PML-N’s manifesto and its strategies.”

The former prime minister said that the youth should not fall into the trap of lies and urged them to support the PML-N

WHAT.EVER!

Dear hyperemotional Pakistanis , please don't get fooled THIS TIME! These fancy 'policies' are no more than the claims "We have made Lahore the Paris" blah blah...

Which economy expert PML (N) has?


Please vote for Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf!

 

[Nothing]

should start from his party members, by teaching spelling and true meaning of those words.

 

[Kompromat]

So IK was correct that we cant publish every single policy paper because N league copy cats it. There goes PTI's energy paper with N ?

As I understand it, these comments by the PML-N are nothing more then a campaign speech to get people to vote for them. Nawaz Sharif's previous government in my opinion wasn't as much of a disaster as Zardari's, but it wasn't exactly great either. I do hope that "Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf" comes to power this time.

Moving on to the points raised in this article, especially regard the energy crisis. I feel that at the moment the best way to deal with the problem is through the usage of multiple power sources. Greater emphasis should be provided to wind turbines & solar energy. Harnessing solar energy could be a bit expensive for some people at the moment, but it should certainly be encouraged. Both of these methods are efficient, environmentally friendly, & feasible to an extent, especially the former.

I don't think Pakistan's judicial system is doing that great of a job either. I wouldn't say that it's completely dysfunctional but had it been effective, corruption would be eradicated long ago. Justice is essential for the well being of the entire nation & not the society alone. Discontent will only arise in a populace if they found it difficult to receive justice, thus enforcing the rule of law is crucial to keeping the populace happy.

Interest free loans will only attract investors if the energy crisis is eliminate, along with corruption, lawlessness, extremism, & terrorism. Do remember that when new industries are setup in the country, energy requirements would go up, so the government has to make provisions for that too. Eradicating illiteracy, feudalism, tribalism, & providing cheap & good education for everyone should be among the medium to long term goals of future governments. If there is one thing I really want to see is Pakistan being on the list of the best economies of the world. Anyway, these were some of my views on the subject.

Express Tribune have a knack of really changing the title. Where, in this whole article, was a plan unveiled? What was unveiled was that he had a plan. Unveiling of a plan would mean he actually told us the plan.

they will make education equivalent to a developed country in 3 years?
That is quite literally impossible unless a meteorite falls out of the sky filled with gold.
Currently only about 50% of the population has any education. That means that they would need to build schools, train teachers, and enroll the rest of the 100,000,000 million people into school in just three years.

just more talk from copy cat league. They know that they can't compete with competence and the vision of PTI so they are trying to compete with crazy promises.

 

[Qasibr]

Simple question: Why didn't the PML-N use the past five years to fix all this? Heck - why didn't they use their five previous governments to do anything about it.

Now that the elections are hopefully near, these people finally wake up and suddenly start remembering all these things. It would be incredibly foolish to fall for their BS yet again.

If you start comparing Governments then pick up history and you will find that the tenure of PPP has been the worst for Pakistan, PML has been better than PPP where as Military has been better than PML so kinda lika

Military > PML > PPP (Military Governments being the best, unfortunate as that may be, while PPP Governments have been the worst)

Khisyaani billi khamba noche....kuch bhi karle Nawaz...aayega to Imran....ye to bahar desh ke log bhi bol rahe hain...

Practically? The next Government will be another PPP(P) led coalition. Unless Pakistanis wakeup somehow, which is not really possible in my opinion and trust me I am a realistic optimist, however critically in clash that may be.

 

[SamranAli]

his brotheq Zardari also promised and planned to end loadsheding by 2009. What happend?

I agree that PML-N is better than PPP, that's exactly what I meant when I said: "Nawaz Sharif's previous government in my opinion wasn't as much of a disaster as Zardari's, but it wasn't exactly great either" earlier. I also agree that military rule has been better for Pakistan than the tenure of these political parties.

I hope the people have learnt their lesson this time, it's not right to vote for corrupt or pathetic people that do nothing besides destroying the country or looting it. It's the society's job to ensure that those that rule over them are indeed worthy of holding that position.

This is what I was thinking too. Where's the plan?
I guess it was a secret farewell party for him in the guise of a press conference. He's going out of Pakistan (yes, once again).
