Lahore-January 16 (Online): President Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) Shehbaz Sharif said that price hike in petroleum products is economic terrorism.
He said this on Sunday while referring to the recent increase of Rs3 in petrol and petroleum products which the government had introduced a day earlier (Saturday).
The PML-N leader said that the further increase in petrol prices is equivalent to waging war of terrorism against the poor public of the country. The public is not being granted relief even after the fall of petrol prices in global market.
He said that the price hike is also done by Imran Niazi in a “benevolent” manner. The inefficient, incompetent and corrupt administration has pushed the public into the morass of inflation.
Earlier on Saturday, the government had jacked up the price of petrol by Rs 3.01 per litre with immediate effect.
