Pakistan Muslim League-N' central leader and Member National Assembly and an industrialist Mohammad Pervez Malik has said that the federal government should avoid increasing the prices of petrol and diesel, otherwise the tsunami of price hike would come in the country.
Pervez Malik said that the government on the pressure of IMF, would not be allowed to enhance prices of the petroleum products.
He said that if people of Pakistan like in Tunis, Egypt and Yemen, came on roads as a protest against the price hike, then the rulers would have to quit power. The rulers should keep this thing in minds that the people in such a situation would not allow them to flee from the country, he added. Pervez Malik further said that the national economy due to wrong steps of the government, instead improving was deteriorating.
He said that the government should implement 10-point national agenda of the PML-N without further delay, adding that its progress was very slow at present in this regard. He said people should be provided relief immediately, otherwise they would come on roads.
He said that the size of Federal Cabinet and official expenditures should be decreased, which would help to diminish the sense of deprivation among the people. Pervez Malik said that the government during three years did not take any positive step to restore the confidence of the local and foreign investors, while the crisis of electricity and gas was as usual.
