He said that the loss surpassed Rs. 120 Billion in May, three times more than Rs. 40 Billion.
We Reject This Robbery
In response to the development, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry took to Twitter and announced that his party had opposed the surge in petroleum products.
“We pushed back this robbery with all our might in the middle of the night,” he wrote.
“The rise in petrol prices has broken the middle class. People should join the protest against this incompetent government.”
