Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Tuesday expressed her displeasure over hike in petroleum products’ (POL) prices announced by the coalition government last night, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
In her tweets, she said she stood by the people and could not support the government’s decision.
میں عوام کے ساتھ کھڑی ہوں۔ اس فیصلے کی تائید نہیں کر سکتی۔ https://t.co/aHciMR4jg1

She went on to add that when former prime minister and her father Nawaz Sharif learnt about it, he vehemently opposed it saying he did not want to burden the people. “And if the government is left with no other choice, I will not be part of the government’s that decision,” she quoted her father as saying.
میاں صاحب نے اس فیصلے کی سخت مخالفت کی اور یہاں تک کہ دیا کہ میں مزید ایک پیسے کا بوجھ عوام پر نہیں ڈال سکتا اور اگر حکومت کی کوئی مجبوری ہے تو میں اس فیصلے میں شامل نہیں ہوں اور میٹنگ چھوڑ کر چلے گئے۔ https://t.co/McG019GW6Z
