Co-ordination Committee of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) has strongly condemned the increase in the prices of petroleum products and demanded its immediate withdrawal. The Committee said that the people are already burdened with rising inflation and it is becoming increasing difficult for them items of daily use. Constant price hikes and ever increasing cost of living have made life very difficult for the people; some are forced to commit suicide while some are selling their children because of abject poverty. The Committee said that the fresh increase in the POL price would directly hit the poor people as it would bring in its wake an increase in transport fares and a sharp increase in prices of essential commodities. The Committee stressed upon the government to take back the increment and stop burdening the people beyond their capacity.
