Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has decided to register strong protest in National Assembly today (Wednesday) against the increase in petroleum products' prices.

They said the PML-N leadership considers the decision's as petrol bomb on the poor masses, already confronting the skyrocketing price hike. Under the strategy, the sources said that Opposition leader in National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan will speak on point of order to present the PML-N viewpoint over the issue and party's parliamentarians would likely stage a walk out from the House.
