Chairman PPP demands issuance of weekly inflation statistics

Islamabad: Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Friday demanded withdrawal of decision of Federal Cabinet to stop weekly statistics regarding inflation.

Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari opposes the decision of the Federal Cabinet to stop the weekly report on inflation.

Withholding weekly statistics of the Bureau of Statistics regarding inflation would be tantamount to hoodwinking the people.

Hiding inflation statistics from the public will not reduce inflation in the country. Instead of hiding the inflation statistics, the government should end rewarding the mafias and stop corruption.

Even in dictatorial periods, no attempt was made to hide the statistics regarding inflation from the people, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari concluded.
