Protest against oil price hike
SUKKUR, Jan 8: Activists of the Pakistan People’s Party (Shaheed Bhutto)’s youth wing took out a procession and observed a sit-in here on Monday to protest against rising prices of petroleum products, inflation, unemployment and lawlessness.
The procession, led by Ghulam Rasool Umrani and Zulfiqar Jamali, started from Teer Chowk and its participants, shouting slogans against the government, marched on main thoroughfares of the city and reached at the Clock Tower. There they staged a sit-in for two hours, suspending vehicular traffic.
The PPP-SB youth wing leaders criticised the government and said that despite decrease in international market prices of petroleum products, the prices were not being reduced in the country to provide relief to the common man.—BoC
