Federal govt financial policies criticised

PESHAWAR:

Advisor to the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister for Information and Public Relations, Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif, has strongly criticised the current economic policies of federal government stating that the leader who provided electricity at Rs15 per unit is behind bars, while those charging Rs40 per unit are living in luxury.

He added that Imran Khan's so-called "crime" was providing petrol at Rs150 per liter, whereas the current government has increased its price to Rs300 per liter.

He further questioned the government's decision to offer only a Rs7 relief in electricity prices, urging them to explain who was responsible for making essential commodities unaffordable for the public.

Saif also pointed out that crude oil prices in the global market have dropped by another seven per cent, yet the benefit of this reduction is not being passed on to the public.

According to global market trends, he stated that the price of petrol in Pakistan should be below Rs100 per liter.

He further criticized the current administration, calling it a 'fake government' and emphasized that instead of offering superficial relief, it should provide genuine relief to the people.
