Bilawal demands resignation from PM over rising inflation in Ramadan
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has strongly criticized the government for skyrocketing inflation during Ramadan and demanded Prime Minister Imran Khan to have mercy on the public and resign from office.
In a statement on Wednesday, the PPP Chairman said that the selected government has spared no effort to pin the public against the wall, adding that record increase in the prices of food items has broken the public’s back during Ramadan.
Bilawal Bhutto said that the present government is incapable of solving the country’s problems. The sudden increase in prices of 16 items including ghee and flour at the start of Ramadan shows the government’s incompetence, he added.
Bilawal said that inflation rising after the government’s announcement of monitoring prices during Ramadan was a matter of concern. “The Ramadan package announced by the Prime Minister is nowhere to be seen”, he said.
The PPP chairman said that subsidizing utility stores during Ramadan did not absolve the government of its responsibility, adding that inflation in the open market was skyrocketing, where the common man cannot even buy vegetables and fruits for his family.
He said that merely changing finance ministers will not alleviate the suffering of the people. The real relief will come when the incompetent rulers responsible for the inflation go home.
