Public outrage erupted on media spaces on Saturday as the federal government raised the price of petrol by Rs10.49 per litre and of diesel by Rs12.44 per litre.

According to a notification issued by the Finance Division, the new price of petrol, effective from October 16, is Rs137.79 per litre while diesel will sell for Rs134.48.

It is being suggested that this is the first time that all the four major petroleum products are being sold above Rs100 per litre in the country.

The government notification said that oil prices in the international market had risen around $85 a barrel, the highest since October 2018.

“Importantly, entire energy chain prices have witnessed a strong surge in the past couple of months due to higher demand for energy inputs and supply bottlenecks,” it said.

The term ‘Rs10.49’ began trending on social media as soon as the new petroleum prices became public. People began criticizing the government for the surge in prices of everyday commodities as well as fuel.

Petrol price increased by Rs 10.49! New price is Rs 138. Imran Khan, RESIGN AND GO HOME! You’re INCOMPETENT and a FAILURE. Imagine the SHAME on their faces, but they will STILL defend it, NALAYAK! Next time good looks par thumkay ke sath RISHTA dae daina, vote nahi! 💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/zaIwvQSIuL
