The increase in prices is causing the Senate to criticize the government.
Legislators have spoken out against the terrorist incident in Peshawar.

In addition to expressing concern over the shortage of flour and the increase in the price of petroleum goods, lawmakers in the upper house of parliament fiercely denounced the terrorist acts that took place in the nation on Monday.

Even the treasury lawmakers vented their frustration with the government over the rising inflation during the session, which was presided over by Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani. Fuel price increases, according to Senate opposition leader Shahzad Waseem, show how powerless the administration is.

Senator Kamran Murtaza of the Treasury benches questioned whether it was appropriate for them to sit there. How much longer will we continue to blame Imran Khan. For ten months, we are in power. “People are passing away while waiting in line for flour,” he said to the audience.

While a federal minister had hinted that the gas tariff will also be increased, opposition leader Shahzad Waseem said that the government had increased the price of gasoline by Rs35 on Sunday. He continued, “This is nothing but this government’s incompetence.

For the victims of the Bela road tragedy and the suicide bombers in Peshawar, the home offered Fateha. According to Senator Azam Nazir Tarar, Pakistan has been the birthplace of terrorism for forty years. He added that the increase in fuel prices was a painful pill.

Tariq Bashir Cheema, the minister of food, too voiced his concern for the nation’s current state of affairs. “We refer to Pakistan as an agricultural nation, but the truth is quite different. Why is there a flour crisis when there is a surplus of wheat in the nation? he questioned, adding that the product was being smuggled.

Senator Haji Hidayatullah was also criticised by other lawmakers throughout the session for his explicit remarks about the Quaid-i-Azam. Dr. Zarqa Suharwardy Taimur and Senator Asif Kirmani both denounced the comments. Senator Haji Hidayatullah later apologised for his remarks.

The Federal Universities Amendment Bill 2022 and the Factories Act Amendment Bill 2022 were also adopted by the house, along with two other proposals that had been forwarded to the relevant committees. The meeting was suspended till Tuesday early morning.
