Actor and singer Farhan Saeed takes to social media to hit out at fellow Pakistanis for failing to speak up against the increasing inflation. ‘The nations that don’t stand up for themselves, deserve this and worse,’ says the singer.
“Pakistaniyon tum 500 rs litre bhi dalwa loge. Afsos! The nations that don’t stand up for themselves, deserve this and worse”, shared the actor on his official Twitter handle.

Saeed’s tweet comes after the government on Wednesday dropped another bomb, increasing petrol price by Rs22.20 (Rs272 per litre) and diesel price by Rs17.20 (Rs280.20 per litre).
The new petrol price hike set off a Twitter storm and celebrities like Arsalan Naseer, Samina Peerzada and Ahmed Ali Butt joined Farhan Saeed in criticizing the new price hike.

پاکستان کی ترقی میں ہی ہے سب کی ترقی۔ بس کردو ظالمو دھرتی ماں کو جینے دو پھلنے پھولنے دو۔ لوگوں کو سانس لینے دو
