Imran criticizes govt for not reducing oil prices

ISLAMABAD—Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has strongly criticised the government decision of not reducing oil prices despite 25 percent decline in international oil markets.
In a press statement issued here on Monday, the PTI Chairman said that on one hand, corrupt leaders of the country claimed that they were reducing the prices of all essential commodities and on the other hand, they were not determined to give the basic right especially the oil prices reduction to people.
He said that in the past three months oil prices reduced dramatically in international markets but here in Pakistan situation was opposite.
"Despite the decline of oil prices in international markets government has still maintained the same prices of oil which was clearly injustice for whole nation" he maintained.
He strongly demanded that the government should formulate new policy of determining oil prices and must terminate Oil Company Advisory committee.
"Government should reduce the oil prices 50% so that common men would get relief to it" he advised.—Agencies
