PDP demands cut in oil prices

Pasban Democratic Party (PDP) Vice Chairman Azam Minhas has called for an immediate reduction in petroleum product and LPG prices, Business Recorder reported. He said higher LPG costs would add pressure on household and commercial users, while expensive petrol would push up food costs.

Minhas argued that emergency steps are needed to contain inflation and put public welfare ahead of costly aircraft, vehicles and privileges for the elite. His remarks are a political demand, not an announcement of a government price change; the report does not specify any proposed cut or decision date.
