Lahore, June 03, 2022 (PPI-OT):Speaker Punjab Assembly Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, while rejecting the brutal rise in prices of essential commodities including petroleum products, said that after dropping petrol and diesel bombs six days ago, the imported government was not yet satisfied that today another bomb of inflation fell on the people. “We have already said that these are incompetent people who have come only to wreak havoc. Pakistan’s economic problems will be lessened not by going to the IMF but by honestly increasing trade,” he said.
In a statement, Ch Parvez Elahi said that the incompetent rulers were squeezing the blood of the people instead of giving relief only to the greed of the government. An increase of Rs 60 is tantamount to destroying the national economy. He further said that a new storm of inflation has been imposed on the people and this cruel decision will only aggravate the circumstances. The price of electricity has gone up and now the knife of taxes is also ready.
The next budget will raise a tumult among the people. Ch Parvez Elahi further said that why 30% cheaper petrol was not taken from Russia, those who gave relief to the people by selling clothes took off the clothes of the people, the imported government has given the people the gift of 12 hours load shedding and inflation.
