Islamabad: Prime Minister Yusaf Raza Gilani on Friday promised to consider subsidising fuel prices after the hike was challenged in Lahore High Court (LHC) earlier in the day.
Addressing the Senate session, Gilani said that Pakistan’s taxes on petroleum products are among the lowest in the world.
The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and other parties rejected the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) decision to increase the prices of petrolium products by 10 to 13 and demanded of the government to revoke its decision.
