Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA Asad Umar on Monday said that it was time that people should again gather at D-Chowk of the federal capital to protest against the government for not providing adequate relief to the people in petroleum prices.
Talking to the media, he said it was regrettable that the federal government had reduced petroleum prices nominally as compared to the plunge in oil prices in the international market.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has failed to provide due relief to the people, he added.
He said that the government was charging tax per liter of Rs 61 on Kerosene and Rs 52 on petrol while the millionaires were given relief a week before in the name of tax amnesty.
The government might get appreciation from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), but providing due relief to the people was unjustified, he added.
