A Ministry of Petroleum spokesperson has said that the statement made by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan about petroleum prices in Pakistan is devoid of facts.
In a statement, the spokesperson said that the government has substantially decreased the price of petrol already up to Rs 30, which is based on actual import price in the past five months. He also said that the prevalent per litre petrol price of Rs 78.28 in Pakistan is far cheaper as compared to other countries in the region as per liter prices in India, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka are Rs 105, 92 and 97, respectively.
He said that petroleum prices were expected to be decreased further in February 2015.
