PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced its decision to convene an All Parties Conference (APC) featuring like-minded political groups to protest the recent record hike in petroleum prices.

Speaking at a press conference, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar stated that the government has imposed an unprecedented financial burden on the public.

During the briefing, Taimur Saleem Jhagra criticized the administration for failing to manage the economy over the last four years. He noted that while the Prime Minister personally announces price cuts, he avoids the public when massive hikes are implemented.

PTI leadership maintained that such a significant increase in fuel costs is unparalleled in Pakistan's history, accusing the government of hiding behind global crises to mask internal failures.
