Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar talking to anchors and journalists in a meeting held at Prime Minister House in Islamabad on August 31, 2023. His government sought the IMF’s permission to spread the electricity bills over a six-month period but has not yet received a response. Prime Minister Kakar added that the government was closely looking at the inflated electricity bills and had done its own calculations. Pakistan Army, Air Force and Navy contribute and pay bills against each and every unit that they consume. Talking about Pakistan’s security challenges, the prime minister said that the country recently witnessed a resurgence in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) and Balochistan.
