Qasim Zia, head of Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarian (PPPP) Punjab, and the Leader of Opposition in Punjab Assembly, has severally criticised recent hike in petroleum prices.
Reacting over the increase, Qasim said that rise in the petroleum price has become a constant feature.
Stating that government claim to check inflation was farce, he said that if we look at prices of gasoline throughout the year and how many times it had been raised as compared with its lowering, any body gauge at the sincerity of present government in giving respite to masses.
He was of the view that effect of price increase in gasoline prices had an accumulative effect on prices of all the commodities.
Qasim said that the raise in prices of ghee and later in flour had severally effected equilibrium of domestic life. He stated that people were more interested in stability of prices of general commodities, electricity, and petroleum goods than hearing boosts of foreign exchange reserves getting hefty.
