JI demands withdrawal of unjustified petroleum prices hike

Author: By Our Special Correspondent

KARACHI: Jamaat-e-Islami has lambasted the federal government over the continuous increase in the petroleum products price and has asked to immediately withdraw the recent hike announced by the federal finance minister.

This criticism was done by the JI Karachi chief Hafiz Naeem Rehman while responding to the recent increase in petroleum price.

The rulers were only struggling for their own survival but all those issues related to common people were not in their priority list, he added.

The government is increasing the miseries of common people, particularly since the beginning of the current calendar year. Common men are already facing serious financial hardships due to the domestic situations like inflation and corruption, while the government and the ministers are busy in pursuing their own agenda of safeguarding monitory benefits for their families only, he observed.

He demanded of the government to withdraw the recent hike in petroleum prices and take concrete steps to mitigate the miseries of people. The government should reverse the impacts of inflation, instead of making tall claims and lip service to mislead innocent people.

Rejecting the federal finance minister’s claims regarding economy, he raised the issue that a liter of petrol is cost around Rs35 to the government and the government sale it out at around Rs 70.

Naeem also lambasted the government for rising prices of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The government is hand in gloves with CNG stations owners.
