NEWS Can the plan to provide subsidized petrol for motorcycles, small vehicles, hinder the IMF deal? PDM's announcement of petrol subsidy is like a person going to the doctor drunk on the day he was supposed to get a recovery certificate. Uzair Younis expressed this opinion on Twitter after the government announced that a limited amount of petrol will be provided at subsidized rates to motorcyclists and those using vehicles smaller than 800 cc. It should be remembered that the government has only made an announcement in this regard, but how and to what extent this discount will be given is yet to be decided. After the government announced plans to reduce petrol prices, questions are being raised whether the PDM coalition government is taking a political decision to subsidize petrol, which could add to the country's economic woes. Then it is really a proactive plan that will provide some relief to the public in the wave of extraordinary inflation.
