LAHORE: (HRNW) Pakistani Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday asked Prime Minister Imran Khan to provide immediate relief to the masses by stepping down.
“If Imran Khan has no control over [the prices of] flour, sugar, ghee, medicine, electricity, gas, petrol, [failing] economy and [rising] inflation, then it is in his control to resign,” Sharif tweeted on Saturday.
Making a new record, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government on Thursday night increased petroleum prices by up to Rs8.14 per litre with immediate effect.
The opposition also criticised Islamabad over the latest wave of price hikes just two days after the premier’s announcement of the “biggest ever” relief package in Pakistan’s history.
Sharif told the premier to “provide immediate relief to the people by giving his resignation.”
“After sugar, the rise in the prices of petrol and electricity is a bombardment of inflation on the people. This government of oppression cannot work,” he claimed.
