ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Information Secretary Sh Waqas Akram on Friday strongly condemned the ‘unelected’ government for its repeated failure to pass on the full impact of declining global oil prices to the already financially burdened public.
He warned that such economic exploitation amounts to skinning the poor alive. In a statement issued here, Waqas alleged that the fascist regime has withheld a potential reduction of approximately Rs18 per litre in petroleum prices over the past two months, citing a series of clumsy and misleading excuses.
The PTI spokesman said that the anti-people government has once again prioritised fiscal exploitation over public welfare, relying on weak and deceptive justifications.
