The federal minister said that everything becomes more expensive due to the increase in the price of petrol, Rs 100 per liter relief has been given under the Prime Minister’s Relief Scheme.
He said that the price of oil is increasing, as much as the right of the people will be given relief, those who are driving cars worth crores, they also have a country, but the first right is the owner of a small car.
Senator Mossadegh Malik said that the prime minister tried to give relief to the poor man first, the levy is 80 rupees and the carbon levy is 5 rupees, the prime minister has given a relief of 100 rupees.
