Co-founder of Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and renowned scholar Dr Mubashar Hassan has urged the Indian government to unilaterally offer Pakistan 500MW electricity.

Dr Mubashar said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's election manifesto pledged to improve relations with India, reports the Daily Times.

He said that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif had thrice tried to improve relations with India, but every time he was disappointed because the response of the Indian government was cold.

Dr Mubashar said that history has once again offered an opportunity to the two countries to forget the past and take bold steps in the interest of the people of the subcontinent.
