ISLAMABAD: Rejecting the recent petrol price hike, Pakistan People’s Party Vice President and Chair Foreign Affairs Senate Standing Committee Sherry Rehman has urged the government to withdraw its decision to increase petrol prices.
“While international oil prices slide down by 2% this week, Tabahi Sarkar hikes petrol prices by a whopping Rs 5.40/litre mid-month. On what basis the PTI government has increased the petrol prices, as people are already facing skyrocketing inflation, spiralling gas prices and now another petrol bomb has been dropped on them,” she said. She said it was shocking that this is the second time the prices of petroleum products had been increased in the last 15 days.
She said the PTI government had hiked petrol prices by Rs31 per litre in the last 3 years and now the petrol prices would be hiked once again to meet the petroleum levy of Rs620 billion. “We are facing a tsunami of inflation and countless petrol bombs,” she said.
