Pakistan People's Party (PPP) provincial leader, Nawabzada Aurangzeb Khan Hoti has slammed the government for yet another increase in prices of petroleum commodities, which, according to him, would bring a new wave of inflation in the country that will directly hit the 'poverty-stricken' masses.
In a statement issued here on Saturday, PPP leader said that the petrol price has increased at Rs112.68 per litre after an increase of Rs4.26 per litre that would further raise the prices of essential commodities and others essentials which will directly affect the poor masses. He lashed out at the government for its anti-masses policies, saying that every other day this government announces decisions that increase the suffering of the people of this country. Criticising the government's poorly planned policies, Hoti said, "Economy is in dire straits and the government is directionless." He furthermore maintained that prices of petrol, diesel and electricity have skyrocketed while a meteoric rise in gas bills has crippled thousands of households. Electricity and gas are becoming an unaffordable luxury in this country, he added.
PPP leader said that PTI government had mortgaged the sovereignty of the nation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as it had resorted to anti-people policies to borrow loans. He added that the rulers compromised the country's interests for nominal economic gains. "The government must share with the public the strings and conditions attached with the IMF's bailout package," he demanded.
