π΄ PTI lawmakers protest fuel hike on donkey carts π΄
Pakistan PTI lawmakers staged a protest in Sindh province against soaring fuel prices, arriving at the assembly on donkey carts. This action followed the latest fuel price adjustment on Thursday, which raised petrol to Rs 390.79 and HSD to Rs 424.92 per litre. The protest highlighted the difficulties ordinary people face due to these rising costs from the government's policies. Amid Middle East hostilities, the government introduced a relief scheme, though it faced initial rollout issues. The federal government also implemented austerity measures like a 9pm market closure.
