On the other hand, PPP chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said hike in petroleum prices is an attack maneuvered against the poor, adding that it is a ploy to spread chaos in the country. "Nawaz Sharif is taking revenge from the people after his disqualification … it proves that not only Nawaz Sharif but the whole PML-N is ineligible," he claimed.
He advised the ruling party to develop fear of the people and demanded them to restore old prices of petroleum products. He maintained that the people should not be overburdened because of the incompetency of the ruling party.
