Despite police crackdowns and brutality, people came out in numbers in Karachi to protest the ruthless hike in fuel prices by Pakistan's military regime.
#PetrolBomb #DDA
PTI protest in Karachi against inflation and the massive increase in petrol and diesel prices by the illegitimate regime. Imran Khan’s party stands with the poor who are suffering as a result of this cruel regime. #PetrolBomb
266 → 458 → 378
A Rs112/liter increase in one month, followed by a fake “relief” designed to fool the public.
This isn’t governance. It’s manipulation. It’s deception.
An unelected, imposed coterie insulting the intelligence of the people every single day.

#AsimLaw
The dacoit and duffer alliance are blinded by the power they’ve accumulated through brute force. The record increase in petrol prices will have a devastating effect on the poor who are already struggling to make ends meet.
#PetrolBomb
Fuel prices in Pakistan are the highest in the region. The illegitimate regime of Asim Munir has decimated the economy and is using this as an opportunity to generate tax revenue, crushing the poor in the process.
#PetrolBomb
This is government failure at its worst. Imported and #Form47 dynasties thrive while the people suffer.
Pakistan needs justice, accountability, and a system reset.

Taimur Jhagra laid bare the callous hypocrisy and apathy of the #DDA.
Everyone remembers the lamentations of Shehbaz Sharif, Asif Zardari, Maryam Nawaz, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and their cohorts when the total price of petrol and diesel was less than the increase in just one day!
#PetrolBomb
An unelected elite has been imposed on Pakistan, with no connection to the people who are suffering. This is a system of injustice, where the poor are crushed and the elites are facilitated. Salman Akram Raja pointed to the inequality that prevails in Pakistan.
#PetrolBomb
…products to protect ordinary people from the burden of rising prices. Pakistan's unrepresentative & illegitimate regime on the other hand, is not only passing the entire burden of rising oil prices, but also increasing taxes!
Taimur Jhagra laid bare the facts.

Less money for food, healthcare, and education as the prices of daily necessities go up. Lives are being devastated by the illegitimate regime installed into power by a military dictator against the will of the people.

The Sharif-Zardari partnership, as proxies for Asim Munir, have destroyed the lives and livelihoods of millions!

While the illegitimate #Form47 military government dropped a #petrolbomb triggering a wave of inflation, PTI’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has announced austerity measures, freezing of public transport fares, and fuel subsidies for the most vulnerable.
While the elite shift online, the poorest bear the brunt of fuel restrictions, exposing stark social and economic divides.

In its #PetrolBomb detonated on ordinary Pakistanis, Shehbaz Sharif's illegitimate #Form47 government raised the price of kerosene oil by Rs130 per litre, increasing it from Rs189 to Rs319, an increase of nearly 70%.
The hike is one of the largest single kerosene price increase in history.

Why should ordinary Pakistanis bear the burden of the extravagant lifestyles of the small, corrupt, powerful elite?
Why should hardworking people be plunged into poverty for politicians, generals, bureaucrats, and judges can enjoy unlimited fuel, luxury vehicles, and private jets?
#PetrolBomb
Rather than putting together plans to cushion the impact of soaring fuel prices for ordinary, hardworking Pakistanis, the illegitimate #Form47 regime secretly as snuck in an INCREASE in petroleum levy to a record 105 Rupees per liter.
#DDA #PetrolBomb
This enormous increase in petrol and diesel prices will translate into a wave of inflation that will cripple households. With poverty already at a record high, this ruthless regime is pushing hardworking families into destitution.
