Secretary General, Jamaat-e-Islami, Liaqat Baloch, has slated the proposed raise in the POL prices at a time when the prices in the world market have dropped further. He while departing for Karachi here on Monday said that the PPP promising Roti, Kapra and Makan to the masses had gifted starvation, funeral cloth and graves. He stressed upon the government to refrain from enhancing POL prices further as it would be tantamount to economic murder of the masses.
He especially condemned the step rise in prices of essentials during the month of Ramazan and said that there is no check on the profiteers and the official machinery seemed to be helpless. Liaqat Baloch further said that during the PPP-PML (Q), MQM and ANP government, major national institutions including the PIA, Railways, Steel Mills, had collapsed. Hundreds of trains had been suspended due to shortage of diesel or locomotives.
Load shedding of electricity had paralysed the entire system of life. In spite of the official claims, load shedding at Iftar and Sehr is going on while Wapda is extorting the consumers in the name of Fuel Adjustment Charges. He said that the JI on coming to power would cut down prices of eatables by 30 percent and freeze these for three years. Besides, all unlawful taxes and levies on the utility bills would be waved.
