Maryam Nawaz, Bilawal bash govt over petrol crisis

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Thursday lashed out at the government of Pakistan for nationwide petrol crisis.

In her Tweet, she stated that making the nation stand in queues for the pursuit of flour, sugar and petrol shows government’s incompetency.

In addition to this she said that the public is under due calamity whereas the government is not paying heed to the condition of poor people.

Maryam went on to say that Imran Khan was not seen tensed even for a single day while public is brutally suffering.

Meanwhile, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, in a statement, said the entire nation was worried as the government had shown its “incompetence” in dealing with petroleum dealers.

“Most of the petrol pumps are closed in the country, while several long queues could be seen […] businesses affairs are affected, which is the government’s failure,” the PPP leader said.

Bilawal said PM Imran Khan had “ruined” the lives of people after his government had affected every aspect of life. “PTI-led government turns solvable issues into a crisis through its incompetence.”
