Govt hikes LPG before decreasing petrol: Siraj

LAHORE (INP): Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan, Sirajul Haq has said that the government increased Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) by Rs20 per kilogram before announcing a meager decrease of Rs8 per litre in petrol prices.
Addressing a ceremony in Lahore on Sunday, he said that everyone was talking of worsening situation of the country but no one was ready to admit the responsibility of the situation. Sirajul Haq said that there was disappointment, terror, devastation everywhere and countrymen were in incessant panic.
It was matter of grave concern that a single roti (flatbread) was being sold for Rs25 and single electricity unit was being charged Rs52, he added.
He said that assets of all who come into power grow and condition of common man worsens.
The JI chief said that currency of war-torn Afghanistan was three-time stronger than Pakistan.
Countries like Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and India have developed but where on what venue we were heading, he questioned.
