Iranian gas holds key importance to resolve energy crisis: Hanif Mughal

Author: inp

Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Shadbad, Dr Muhammad Hanif Mughal on Sunday said that Pakistan has not found a solution to its energy crisis during the last few decades and cannot resolve the energy problem without importing gas from Iran.

In a statement issued here, he said that opposition from the United States to the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project and threats of penalties were both deplorable.

Dr Hanif Mughal said that it would be in Pakistan’s best interest to strengthen its relations with Iran and overcome different challenges by joining hands. He said that if gas was not imported from Iran, there may be a fine of eighteen billion dollars, which Pakistan cannot pay in the current economic situation. Under these circumstances, he said the continued opposition to the gas pipeline by the United States is reprehensible and without justification. Many countries, including China, India, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Italy, Greece, Iraq, and Turkey, buy oil and gas from Iran on which the US remains silent.
