Shortage of petroleum products signals failure of the Govt: Shehbaz Sharif
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has strongly reacted to the shortage of petroleum products in the country and the difficulties faced by the people and termed it as failure of the government.
The Leader of the Opposition said that the government should sit down with the petroleum companies and come up with an immediate solution as people are suffering due to the shortage in petroleum products.
He said that government has repeated the same mistake with the petroleum sector as they did with the country’s economy, Gas and US dollar rates.
The PML-N president said that at the time when people should be in compliance with the SOPs in maintaining social distancing to curb the spread of coronavirus, the shortage of petrol has caused crowds at the petrol stations.
He said that despite the historic decline in the prices of petroleum products, the government has not been able to provide relief to the people.
Shehbaz Sharif said that the Prime Minister has urged the private companies to pass on the benefit of reduced oil prices to the people but he himself has not acted on it. Why the benefit of the historic reduced oil prices has not been passed on to the people by reduction in electricity and gas prices, he added.
