ISLAMABAD: The PTI on Saturday criticised the government for continuously increasing fuel prices while simultaneously allowing a Rs1.8 billion special allowance package for top bureaucrats who already receive free fuel.
PTI Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram said ordinary Pakistanis were subjected to a six-day petroleum monsoon that drove petrol to Rs335.18 and diesel to Rs383.46 per litre.
He observed that the rulers have perfected a dual system: free fuel and luxuries for the elite, and daily fuel bombs for the public.
Agriculture, transport and industry are being systematically executed under the excuse of international markets.
