Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has said that the province will not be paying electricity and gas bills along with federal taxes and if utilities are disconnected to the province, power supply from Tarbela to Punjab will be stopped.
KP Information Minister Mushtaq Ghani said provincial taxes will be collected as per routine but the public will not be paying any federal taxes along with electricity and gas bills.
He said the civil disobedience movement was against the corrupt and incompetent federal government and not the government managing the province.
Responding to a question, Ghani said that if the centre dared to disconnect power supply to KPK, the province will have the right to stop supply from Tarbela which falls within the provincial jurisdiction.
He added that civil disobedience will be practiced countrywide except in KPK.
