PML-N demands POL price hike withdrawal
ISLAMABAD: Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly and Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan demanded the government to withdraw the recent increment in POL price hike. Addressing the National Assembly, he said the government put public problems on the back burner and imposed ‘jagga tax’ in the name of petroleum surcharge, instead. Such a huge tax is not taken in any other country; but, in Pakistan, only an order is passed to raise POL prices, Nisar stressed demanding the government to take back recent hike in prices of petroleum products. National exchequer received at least Rs. 100 billion which were lavished on the sheer luxuries, eliciting voices against corruption from every nook and corner of the country, Nisar remarked. Government did not set about holding any purposive debate for even a single day throughout the span of three years, he added.
