If Federal Minister for Power Khurram Dastgir Khan is to be believed, answering this very question on a private television channel talk show, a larger motivation was political survival than economic repair work. It is also a sad commentary on the role of the judiciary in such matters, which has on multiple occasions in the past handed down controversial decisions that have had far reaching political consequences. Securing a political future and regaining power was at the core of what transpired over the past year. The political uncertainty that ensued took a toll on the economy in addition to what was already a severe mess.
