Government urged to withdraw increase in prices of food items

Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has called upon the government to withdraw the increase in the prices of Atta, sugar, and cooking oil.

In a statement here, he said, this was no politics but was the issue of the poor man’s life. He said it was shocking that the price of 20 KG wheat flour bag had risen by Rs.  One hundred. It seemed that the government wanted to kill the poor by price hike.

The JI chief said it was unfortunate that due to the IMF pressure, the government was not ready to speak on the oppressive taxes and price hike caused by the budget.

He said the prices of atta, sugar, Ghee and pulses had risen tremendously yet the government claimed to have presented a poor man’s budget.— PRESS RELEASE
