ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Thursday called out the opposition for unjustified criticism on the increase of petroleum products prices in the country.
He, in a tweet, said the opposition parties were criticizing the price hike in petroleum products but failed to provide an alternative which, he believed, was the main aspect of any criticism.
??پو??یشن کی جماعتیں پٹرولیم مصنوعات کی قیمتوں میں اضافے پر ت??قی?? کر رہی ہیں لیکن کسی بھی ت??قی?? کا اہم پہلو یہ ہوتا ہے کہ آپ متبادل دیتے ہیں اب ??پو??یشن بتائے کہ بین الاقوامی م??ڈی میں تیل 60 ڈالر سے 95 ڈالر پر پہنچ جائے تو حک??مت قیمت کیسے نہ بڑھائے ؟ کوئ جادو کا چراغ ہے تو بتا دیں

He asked the opposition whether the government should not increase the oil prices if they jumped to $95 per barrel from $60 in the international market.
He said the opposition, in such a scenario, should bring forth a ‘magic lamp,’ if they had any.
