Increase In Prices of Petroleum Products and Electricity Bills



Government has thrown another Petrol Bomb on the public by increasing the prices of petroleum products in including that of Diesel. With this all the food items like vegetables, fruits and all those commodities that are transported from Markets to sale points will be increased. The fares of the private transport that is used by the common masses will also be increases due to high prices of diesel. In addition, in spite of heavy load shedding electricity prices per unit are to be raised by 2 % from November. Where as common man is being forced to commit suicides, the corruption and irregularities in government funds by the Ministers may be former or present are being ignored by the ruling party and the opposition together. because they know if they do not cover the weaknesses of the opposition, in future they may come in power and will reopen the cases against them. Similarly the head of the Public Account Committee, who belongs to major political party ignored the corruption case against the former Trade and Commerce Minister that was pointed out in meeting of the Committee presided by vice Chairperson, because on that day Chairman was not present. He, in a private letter to the former minister wrote that do not worry nothing will be done. In another meeting of the committee when a closed file of Former President Parvez Musharraf was presented to the Auditor General about the assets and tax payments, he hesitated to receive it because he was appointed by Parvez Musharraf, and not want willing to reopen the case. It was again decided in the meeting unanimously that this file must not be opened because if it is done the tax and assets cases against the leader of the Opposition and the President will also be reopened , so the file should be kept closed as it is. So this is the mentality of our political leaders they provide coverage to each other. There is no possibility that any big gun can be punished for corruption or irregularities.
