She said that the incompetent government of Imran Khan was imposed on the people of the country and this has life difficult due to high inflation rates and joblessness.

She said that once again, the government had increased the prices of petroleum products which was a highly condemnable act. “PPP has rejected this anti-people decision and demanded its immediate withdrawal in order to provide relief to the masses.

Shazia Marri said that PPP’s Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had always spoken about the rights of common people and the aim was to work for their betterment and welfare.

She further said that the people of the country are enraged by the present puppet government and people are also cursing them.
