Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) held a protest against price hike, deteriorating law and order situation and rising unemployment outside the Lahore Press Club here on Tuesday.
PTI Punjab President Ahsan Rashid and PTI Lahore President Shabbir Sial while addressing the protestors criticised President Pervez Musharraf's 'incompetent' advisors for increasing the prices of petrol and said the people were already facing hardships due to rising inflation, hence many were committing suicides.
They hoped that the new government would provide relief to the common man by decreasing the prices of both petrol and diesel. They observed that price hike of eatable items and petrol tantamount to murder of poor people.
