What must be demanded?
Citizens deserve an itemised OGRA notice showing exactly how much of the Rs 1.85 (petrol) and Rs 1.75 (diesel) rise is attributable to crude, cargo, premium or any domestic fiscal need. They also need a clear answer on the alleged holiday‑price rule and the purported relief scheme. Until such transparency is provided, the hike remains a de facto hidden tax. Will the state answer for the extra rupees draining household budgets?
