PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has asked the government to reduce the price of petrol in the country after a worldwide reduction in prices and to not increase people's burden.

This was revealed by Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, the spokesperson for the PPP chairman.

"On the one hand the government is committing economic murder by selling petrol at more expensive rates while talking about relief at the same time. This is hypocritical," he said.

He added that by not decreasing prices, the prime minister was "filling the treasuries of the rich instead of providing relief for the poor".
