Don’t blame government as it is more expensive in other countries. It’s even more expensive in INDIA. How about that. You all steal electricity and take bribes and never do your jobs correctly and just blame government. First correct yourself.
Thank you democracy… we like you !
what has Petroleum companies to do with increase in CNG prices
They could have atleast left that untouched.
I wish that prices were not increased,but what alternative government has to raise the revenue for this cash starved country which is entirely dependent on aid and external loans.Our well to do people are reluctant to pay all what is they are required.to. Unfortunately,raising of income tax rate would not be acceptable to the business communities They will immediately go on all kinds of “strikes”Let us face and endure it if we want to get rid of external pressures and leverages they apply on us.
to what extent can poor Pakistani nation bear the inflation burden? its ridiculous..
Very surprising.Your government can spend millions of dollars from your precious and dwindling foreign reserves to buy oil from overseas ant yet cannot make peace with the Baluchistan people to extract oil and gas from that region.You have “Gold” in your backyard but have no idea how to exploit it.HELLO! what is wrong with you people?
