Pakistan should place orders on bullock-carts which will be shortly needed if oil prices continue to rise at this pace in this country.
He thinks the nation is a fool.The oil prices have dropped 10-15% in the international market and the genius was about to increase the price.What is even more surprising is that the media is ignoring the drop in international prices.Either they don't know anything or the power of envelope reigns supreme.
If Nawaz Sharif has rejected increase in POL price,it means that all previous massive increase in Petroleum prices were approved by him. Shame.
Playing to the galleries Mian Sahab?
Topi Drama... The prices were supposed to go down not up. PMLN will use this as an excuse not to lower prices.
