ISLAMABAD: Advisor to the Prime Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that the increase in the prices of petroleum products was due to the war in the Middle East and the government has no involvement in it, so we should not spread chaos internally and warned that if the war continues, we may face even worse situations. While talking to the media regarding the sharp increase in the prices of petroleum products, Advisor to the Prime Minister Rana Sanaullah said that the government has decided to provide targeted subsidies so that the common man benefits and can cope with the situation. He said that the government has no involvement in the price hike, it has increased due to the war. He said that if this increase did not happen in the world, the conditions of other countries are not in front of them. Petrol and diesel are not available in Australia and India, but here, due to the day and night hard work of the current government and the Prime Minister, there has not been a single day when people were standing in queues at petrol pumps and petrol was not available.
