this fiscal year the international price of oil had declined by approximately 25% while the govt had only passed on a relief of less than 4% in diesel prices which means that the benefit of more than 20% drop in oil prices had been pocketed by the govt which is gross injustice to the citizens, farmers and businesses who are already struggling in extremely challenging economic conditions.
Umar said this massive increase in taxation for a basic commodity like diesel and petrol is equivalent of economic terrorism on the people of Pakistan. It is all the more deplorable being done by the govt of PML-N whose leader Mian Nawaz Sharif campaigned on the promise of reducing taxation and making Pakistan a low income tax haven like Hong Kong. He said PTI will not only oppose this increase in the media and in the National Assembly but will also demonstrate against it on the streets if the govt did not take back the increase in tax on petroleum products that it had levied since coming to power without any approval of the National Assembly.
