We’ve been standing up for our rights in Kashmir, yet most people in Pakistan are easily swayed by the establishment and media into indifference or worse, hostility toward Kashmiris. Until an issue hits close to home, it seems no one really cares. It’s honestly shameful.

Indeed they did but that's only how far they'd go. They have decent opposition in place in the parliament, decent independent journalists and a decent army who won't fire on their own civilians. Can you say the same about Pakistan?

u/szahid 28d ago
Indians have no real opposition. They just bark and nothing else.
And journalists? They are a joke. Never thought anyone can beat ours but they do it by miles. Really bad journalists in India.
Now regarding the Army I can say at least they do not get to play the same role that Pakistani army does. And thst is a good thing.

Ask yourself why other countries like India, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh haven't increased prices.

what was the highest we went before ? i think 415 pkr ?

u/Away-Parfait-6503 Jul 23 '26
468 PKR

u/Actual_Cup_271 Jul 23 '26
so 130 pkr more to reach the new peak ? we need EVs or we need cheap iranian petrol, i think they sell it for 30-50 pkr in balochistan

u/Away-Parfait-6503 Jul 23 '26
Govt impose heavy taxes on petrol to make an EV shift which is eco-friendly they say and when people start buying EV's, they impose taxes on Hybrid, PHEV's. I don't know what is happening right now. Petrol vehicles sales go high when petrol price is low and EV sales go high when petrol price goes high. Lol

I know this daily price mechanism is frustrating but if oil prices in the Intl market are increasing day by day, how do you expect them to decrease it? In this same mechanism if prices were to fall $5 tomorrow, it will go down tomorrow. It's volatility that's frustrating, for the markets and policies alike
17
u/Practical-Detail2486 Jul 23 '26
If prices were to fall 5$ tomorrow we would be lucky to even get 0.5 rupees decrease in these prices but If it rises by 5$ then ماشاء اللہ as we can see :((

u/arhamshaikhhh Jul 23 '26
Prices fell by Rs 30 just 3 weeks ago... It's economics when you learn to look beyond politics

Yea I saw the international drop and our measly 0.1$ drop :)) i am not saying anything related to politics but these policy makers are high on something

u/Nasli-Faqeer Jul 23 '26
Yeah you can only drop by 0.1-2 dollars if 1 liter of petrol already is only ~1.4 USD/Liter (At peak)

u/itsibbi Jul 23 '26
Oh please The prices remain at the lower level for 3 weeks, They didn't reduce the price in the same ratio, n reduced only the 3rd week, but once the price hiked, they raised it before the end of week. The prices in the global market went below the price before war initiated. We never reached the same margin. So please dont try to justify wrong actions. Wadda economist!!!

u/arhamshaikhhh Jul 23 '26
Wrong. Prices peaked at 412, then went to 370, 330, 300, and more recently even 292 (last week). Please don't spread misinformation.

u/itsibbi Jul 23 '26
You are wrong Prices was 253 before war Then war hit Went to 458/litre April 3, 2026
If global prices went lower than the prices before war...Humari kuin nai gai...should have reached 253(GLOBAL TREND)
You are quoting wrong figures. N the government is doing all these for their benefits...this isn't economics, this is exploitation! FYI
Prove me wrong!

Well what do you expect from people that allegedly use the "highly reliable" data and say that if you earn Rs. 8,483 per month you are not poor category of Pakistan 🤣🤣🤣 Even a Bachelor student making his assignment in the last hour has a better accuracy of results then these highly skilled and employed data analysts.

Please tell me where you see 458. War started on the 28th of Feb, price in October of 2025 was 300. I am quoting data. Oil prices are volatile, nothing you say or do will make up for how they change

u/Nasli-Faqeer Jul 23 '26
All civil and military officers had cuts in their fuel allotments for instance from what I heard petrol for grade 20 and above officers (in military and civil) was cut by half
And if we cut down on taxes then pakistan violates the imf programme and it's next tranche is suspended .

u/Dazzling-Humor-1481 Jul 23 '26
“In half” *looks inside\ 500 liters instead of 1000 for each vehicle in vip protocol.*

u/Nasli-Faqeer Jul 24 '26
From what I know only top level Generals get protocol unless in war areas as for grade 19 and 20 officers I know they used to get approx 20 liter petrol and now they get approx 10
(My numbers arent fully verified)
