ISLAMABAD - Pakistan People’s Party chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari yesterday asked Prime Minister when will the good days come for the country and its people?

Commenting on the recent hike in petroleum prices, Bilawal said the government had robbed the people by bringing petrol price to the highest level in the history of the country.

He rejected the sharp rise in prices of petroleum products. Petrol price has risen by Rs.5/litre. “Khan Sahib when will the nation witness the good days,” he asked.  

“When the value of the dollar and petrol is at the highest level in the past, everything is out of reach of the people. Where did those big claims of providing relief to the people after the budget,” Bilawal Bhutto asked the prime minister.

“Billions of rupees collected from increase in prices of petroleum products will be squandered by the PTI government in corruption,” the PPP chief said.

Separately, Central Information Secretary PPP Parliamrntarinans Shazia Atta Marri said that PPP has rejected the recent price hike in the petroleum products due to this inflation rate would be gone up.

Speaking at a news conference here, she said that the high inflation rate was unprecedented during three years of the government.

She claimed, Speaker of the National Assembly Asad Qaisar ordered to close the Press Gallery during the joint session of the National Assembly.

“He claimed the press gallery was closed after consultation with the  Parliamentary Reporters Association,” she added.

Marri said that elected members of Parliamentary Reporters Association disowned the speaker’s claim and such a complete blackout was regrettable act of the government.

“This is the first time the Parliament’s press gallery has been closed and though it was not closed even during the regimes of dictators in the country,” she added.
