YouTuber turned actor Arslan Naseer has just trolled the government on the recent hike in petrol price.
Taking it to Twitter, the Chupke Chupke actor sarcastically wrote that the government’s decision to air Ertugrul was a manifestation as the drama shows horse riding.
Nahi to aap ke khayaal mai Ertugrul kyun dikhaya ja raha tha? Issi liye taakay awaam gaari ki bajaye ghorro pe safar karay

According to the actor, the government wanted people to start riding on horses instead of traveling in cars. The federal government recently made a massive increase of up to Rs12.03 per litre in the prices of petroleum products, taking that of petrol to a record level of Rs159.86 per litre effective from today.

The price of petrol broke all previous records by reaching the Rs160 per litre mark. However, the finance ministry in a statement said that the prices of petroleum products in the international market are showing a drastic increase and presently, they are at the highest level since 2014.
It said that despite the unabated increase in the prices since the beginning of the year, Prime Minister Imran Khan deferred the last review of rise in petroleum products’ prices on January 31, 2022 and advised against the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority’s summary.
