coalition government has no justification to maintain present petroleum
prices while it has failed provide relief to the masses.

statement issued here on Sunday by the Central Media Cell the PTI
information secretary has strongly condemned the govt for its complete
failure to overcome the menace of power outage saying, “load-shedding
was one of the major challenges for the incumbent government but
despite lapse of more then three and half years’ it did nothing then
lip-service to improve the situation.”
The situation is farther deteriorating as short fall is increasing by every passing day’ he added.
He
stressed the need of extending benefit of the decreasing petroleum
prices in the international market to the consumer of Pakistan. He also
called for taking immediate steps to end the menace of load shading.
Million
of dollars has been spent unnecessarily on Rental power stations. The
main objective of rental power station was to receive kick backs from
multi-national companies instead of keeping the interests of the common
man of Pakistan, he alleged.

immediate relief for the people in petroleum sector in accordance with
the price dip in the international market. Online
