Islamabad (HRNW) The Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) has decided to launch a nationwide agitation against government over rising inflation, a day after the federal government announced a major price hike for petroleum products.
The decision was made during a phone conversation between PMLN’s Shehhbaz Sharif and PDM Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Sunday.
Pakistan Peoples Party, which was originally part of the PDM, has also invited other opposition parties to unite against the government.
Besides increasing petroleum prices, the federal government has also hiked electricity and gas tariffs. Meanwhile, prices of edible oil and ghee have gone up. Food inflation and high energy costs have caused concerns among people.
Shehbaz and Fazlur Rehman agreed that there would be protests, rallies, and marches across the country from the PDM platform.
People need to come out on the streets against inflation, unemployment, and economic disaster, the two leaders said.
Shehbaz Sharif also telephoned PMLN supremo Nawaz Sharif, who endorsed the decision to launch agitation over inflation.
