Shehbaz condemns 106pc hike in POL levy

President Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) Shehbaz Sharif on Monday condemned the 106 percent increase in Levy on POL products.

In a statement from London, the PML-N president said that it should be investigated why the government has approved only cut of Rs5 despite OGRA summary of slashing prices of 12.04 per litre.

“The increase of levy by 105.5 percent on Kerosene oil, Rs19 extra on petrol and Rs25 on diesel is cruelty with the people,” Shehbaz said.

Opposition leader in NA said that the prices of petrol are on highest point after 2009 which is condemnable as the PM Imran is killing the people with the sward of price hike and then he pretends as innocent.

He alleged that despite such cruelty with people government’s revenue deficit reached at 480 billion rupees.
