ISLAMABAD: All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) Quaid and former President of
Pakistan Pervez Musharraf said that PPP-led government has put extra burden of
increased oil prices on the masses to meet the expenditures of additional
ministries given to PML-Q.
According to the press release received here on Sunday, the APML Quaid said
that leading political fronts of the country have nothing to do with public
concerns and are busy in power sharing engagements to accomplish their personal
pursuits.
In his message the former President of Pakistan, APML Chief Pervez Musharraf
said, the masses in the country were already confronting with the challenges of
power outages, mounting inflating and unemployment and the additional increase
in petroleum prices will heighten the miseries of the public. The leading
political fronts were getting into agreements to multiply their political
benefits by negating attention from the basic issues of the masses.
Musharraf said that the increased oil prices will further heighten inflation
in the country and the recent hike in petroleum product witness to the fact that
the incumbents were least concerned to address basic problems of public. ‘During
my regime, the price of petrol was Rs 55 per liter that has increased up to Rs
88, while the prices of commodities compared to my government have also
increased up to 150 percent’, Musharraf said.
The former president said, it seems that at presently anti-masses rulers were
governing the country who aims at depriving the masses even from basic amenities
of life negating their tall claims of bread, clothing and shelter.
APML Secretary General Barrister Muhammad Ali Khan Saif addressing organizing
committee of the party said that political capacity of PML-Q was only like a
toilet paper that remains ready to serve other and whoever wants left it after
taking advantage of it. Online
