Muzammil Aslam, spokesperson of the Ministry of Finance, while addressing at the occasion, said all petroleum prices are increased on summaries of OGRA. Price hike is an international phenomenon while 85 % of petroleum products are imported. Government could provide relief through reducing the rate of taxes.

Petroleum prices in Pakistan are lower than many other countries in the region and international level. During PPP regime price of petrol was Rs 115 when exchange rate was Rs 70 a Dollar and now when dollar is at Rs 170 the rate of petrol is Rs 137 per liter it was possible through reduction in taxes by current Government.

He said the Sindh government took a late decision on the issue of wheat release and relevant policy, further they also did not announced quantity to be released to the flour mills on daily basis and consequently due to non-release of wheat masses facing heavy rate of flour in Sindh.

He said the price of sugar has dropped by Rs 6 since last week. There are many sasta bazaars in Punjab established by the Punjab Government but in Sindh not a single sasta bazaar has been established by the Sindh Government.

He said that the biggest crisis in the history of the world since 1960 is now going on.

He blamed PPP for destabilizing flour prices in Balochistan as flour also goes from Sindh to Balochistan. "After petrol, our another import item is edible oil he added.

He said that due to the previous government, the long-term expensive deals of electricity projects have led to a power crisis in the country today.
