PPP minister criticizes MQM over silence on petrol price hike

Karachi (HRNW)  The PPP government in Sindh has criticized the MQM for not raising its voice against increase in the prices of petroleum products.

“When the PPP’s government increased the prices of petrol because it became expensive in the international market, the MQM threatened to leave our government four or five times because of the hike in price petroleum products,” Saeed Ghani, Sindh’s education minister, said Sunday.

Ghani said in their government, petrol was being sold in the international market for $145 per barrel adding that today the petrol in international market is much cheaper but the federal government still raised the prices of petroleum products.
