Bilawal comes down hard on govt for increasing POL prices

KARACHI: Pakistan People Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Tuesday came down hard on the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government for increasing the petroleum product prices, saying that hike is creating unbearable economic conditions.

In a statement issued here, the PPP Chairman said PML-N increased petroleum product prices continuously for several months and its latest ‘parting petrol bomb attack’ on masses has reflected its intentions to drag them into a slough of poverty and an economic disaster at ground level.

Bilawal said that the majority of the nation was being grinded between inflation and hopelessness, saying that PPP won’t remain silent on the government policies.

“The PPP will raise its voice against hike in petroleum product prices at all available forums. The people will avenge the cruelties and ruthlessness of the Panama League in the next elections,” he added.
