Published Updated

Mutahidda Shehri Mahaz (MSM) on Saturday organised a rally and staged a demonstration in front of Multan Press Club against the unjust increase in the prices of Petroleum products describing it a drone attack on the masses. The rally was led by Tariq Naeem-ullah Khan president of MSM. The participants shouted slogans against rulers calling them as corrupt, dishonest and anti people.
The increase in prices of petroleum products has drawn stern reaction from people who see it as another factor to cause price hike in coming days. People said that the government was not caring enough for the problems of common man. They said instead of increasing petroleum prices, the government should have cut its own expenditure through austerity. They added that people across the world were celebrating New Year while in Pakistan the government, by increasing the POL prices, has added the miseries of common man.
