Minister for Petroleum Ali Pervaiz Malik has called for setting aside political differences to collectively confront the renewed wave of terrorism and protect Pakistan’s national interests.
Addressing a ceremony in Lahore today, he said a new wave of terrorism is once again raising its head, while Pakistan Army personnel are courageously confronting the menace.
Ali Pervaiz Malik urged all stakeholders to avoid becoming entangled in internal disputes and instead concentrate on strengthening national unity, protecting Pakistan’s interests and confronting the challenges facing the country.
Talking about petroleum prices, Ali Pervaiz Malik acknowledged that the increase in fuel prices has caused considerable difficulties for the people.
He said the government will pass on the benefit of any reduction in international oil prices to consumers as soon as prices in the global market start declining.
The Minister said the Prime Minister has reduced the petrol price by one hundred rupees per litre and the government is taking measures to provide relief to people facing difficulties due to high fuel prices.
