LAHORE: The All Pakistan Workers Confederation has demanded the government review increase in petrol prices in order to prevent price hike of essential commodities.

In a meeting held at the Bakhtiar Labour Hall, it was demanded that the government should raise funds by taxing the elites and feudal lords instead of raising oil prices.
