Petrol, the most precious thing right now again raised and crossed two hundred rupees mark. Pakistan has been going through the toughest phase of life. Hike-price is touching the sky after the decision taken by current government to rise it’s price thirty rupees and sixty rupees within a span of week. The hike in price will have serious consequences and the most difficulties will be for the daily wagers and salaried persons. Daily wagers even cannot be in a position to purchase litre of cooking oil for their families. Poverty, unemployment and inflation will rise rapidly and will cause drastic changes in the state. People will be on protest and there will be uncertainty because such a hike price in everything is unbearable for the people of the nation. There is none who can stand against those who take such decisions to explode petrol bomb on the people. Cost of electricity was also hiked after rising in petrol. If this continues to happen more in future, Pakistan will be bankrupted and we will face the situation like Srilanka here in Pakistan. Moody’s rating for Pakistan’s economy again now in negative. Nobody cares about the people of this nation. Whosoever comes I power rule accordingly and desires to impose his own decisions. This hike in petrol will bring the storm of expensiveness in the country and labours will be on roads as they cannot bear such expenses, even, salaried persons will face hardships and the survey showed that salaried persons are at the last level of poverty. Once, their salary stops, they will come under poverty. Responsible authorities should take an immediate notice of this to provide any relief to the people of nation. Petrol price must be reduced else there is going to be chaos in country as hike in petrol will impact on the other items which are being used in daily life. All the current government doing is on the directions of IMF which clearly stated that it will only issue fund if this government will implement according to it’s directions. This country will be inflated if timely actions are not taken. Think about the people of this nation and save it from bankruptcy.
