  "textContent": "ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Friday that Pakistan would keep petroleum product prices unchanged, rejecting a proposal to raise fuel rates.\n\nIn his address to the nation, the prime minister said a summary had proposed increasing petrol prices to Rs95 per litre and diesel to Rs203 per litre, but the government decided against passing on the additional burden to the public.\n\nHe said the federal government would absorb an additional Rs56 billion in costs to provide relief to the public.\n\nSharif said Pakistan was playing a key role on two important fronts, without elaborating, and stressed that the government was working to provide relief to citizens.\n\nHe said Pakistan was making diplomatic efforts to promote peace in the region and that its efforts were in the broader interest of the Muslim world.\n\nHe added that Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar was playing a significant role in efforts toward reconciliation.\n\nSharif also said Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir was playing a key role, and noted that global conditions were currently facing severe challenges.\n\nHe said fuel prices had risen sharply across the world, while major economies were also facing crises.\n\nThe prime minister said the government was aware of public concerns and had taken timely measures to contain inflation.\n\nHe urged the public to support government austerity efforts, saying savings were being made to provide relief to ordinary citizens.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe post Pakistan PM rejects fuel price hike proposal appeared first on HUM News.",
