Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Nayyar Bukhari said that the government is not serious regarding to reinstate the fired federal employees and further prices of petrol has been increased. Chairman NAB’s term will be expired on October 8 and PPP has rejected electronic voting machines because the internet is being tampered with every day in Pakistan and the FBR system has also been attacked by hackers.

They said that the situation in the Pakistan has been worsen day by day because of bad policies of government. Afghanistan exchange rate of dollar is better than our country. PPP observed protests against the inflation and during the time of Ayub Khan, when sugar became expensive people came out on roads.

The prices of per liter petrol has been increased from Rs 8 to Rs 9 in a month and Kerosene oil also made expensive which is commonly used by the people.

While talking to media Shazia Marri said that PPP has rejected the recent price hike of petroleum products and government should be withdrawn immediately from this anti-people decision so that people would be given relief. Prime Minister Imran Khan only sits in the National Assembly and vituperate the opposition parties. PPP is standing with the sacked employees who were fired from different federal government’s departments and these dismissed employees should not be fired until the decision of review appeal comes. She further said that PTI-led government did fake promise of providing employments but depriving people of their jobs when the inflation rate is higher in the country.

The government of Imran Khan wants to bring the Electronic voting machine law under a deliberate planning. They are trying to impose a decision without consultation with other political parties in the country and we have already rejected the use of electronic voting machine during general elections.
