ISLAMABAD: Releasing a white paper on the Rental Power Projects (RPPs), the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) said on Friday that it would use all constitutional forums to get the contracts awarded to eight RPPs reversed.

**Addressing a press conference, where he released the white paper, PML-N leader Khwaja Muhammad Asif termed RPPs contracts the biggest fraud in the country’s history.Rejecting claim of the government that the solution to the national energy crisis is impossible without the RPPs, he said the government artificially created the present power shortage. “The energy shortage has been created to fiscally benefit the front men and others in the power sector,” he added.

Its a shame that our newspapers dont have online archives going back to the late 90s, otherwise you would have seen an identical news item from the papers of 1998, when PMLN went to court to challenge the IPP contracts signed by PPP. This song and dance is a long term fixture of these 2 parties.
