“The prime minister did not approve the summary of increasing petrol by Rs11 and diesel by Rs14. The premier said that oil prices were rising due to rising inflation all over the world but the government would do its utmost to save the people of Pakistan from this inflation. Therefore, the prime minister deferred this summary,” Shahbaz Gill said in another tweet.
