Govt increased POL prices to adjust expenses for PML-Q Ministries: Pervez Musharraf

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
