Moreover, actress Mishi Khan also joined the league, saying that the increasing petrol price in Pakistan is alarming for the common man.
She addressed the concerned authorities to keep a check and balance on the changing price of food items in the market and especially the petrol price which is altering after every 2 weeks.
This is alarming as there is no check & balance for prices of food items in the market. It’s insane how the #PetrolPrice is increasing after every 15 days. I am shocked to even think how a common man will survive with kids to feed & huge bills to pay. Shameful #Trending pic.twitter.com/e8kdsXgfEk
