ISLAMABAD: PPP senior leader Nayyar Hussain Bokhari has said petroleum bombshell has been dropped on the people who are already bogged in quagmire of corona.
“ Crisis upon Crisis, this is new Pakistan. Petroleum bombshell has been dropped on the poor nation which is already bogged in mire of corona virus. Government should withdraw the draconian hike in the prices of petroleum products, he said this in a statement issued here Saturday.
The highest raise in the petroleum products prices in the history of the country is in fact part-11 of atta, sugar scandal, he said adding PPP will voice protest against this brutal increase in the prices of petroleum products at every forum.
“ government failures, financial interests, and crisis upon crisis, this is a new Pakistan”, he remarked.
He alleged that hoarded petrol will be sold out at higher rate by Rs 25 per liter to afford benefit to the government partners. The Elite class representative government has proved the biggest patron and facilitator of mafias.
The tall claims made by PTI government for providing relief to the masses are mere deceit, he said adding pick-pocketing of poor masses rather than filling their pockets in this hour of tyrannical inflation reflects anti people mindset.
