LAHORE: People from various walks of life have rejected the around Rs2 per unit increase in the electricity tariff, urging the government to immediately withdraw the decision.
They said the hike in power tariff may jack up prices of almost all other products and commodities.
“Prime Minister Imran Khan, while in the opposition, had called the then rulers robbers and looters for raising power tariff or petrol prices. By that logic, we believe that the current rulers are also plunderers since they have hiked the power tariff. They also continue to increase petrol prices,” All Pakistan Anjuman Tajiran General Secretary Naeem Mir said.
