Pakistan Fuel Price Hike Sparks APC Push

On April 3, 2026, Pakistan’s government announced a significant fuel price hike, pushing petrol to 458.41 Pakistani rupees per liter and diesel to 520.35 rupees. PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan described the move as heavy and demanded urgent, broad based consultation (Geo.tv, Apr 3, 2026).

Rana Sanaullah defended the policy, insisting subsidies and targeted relief would shield the public, while opposition leaders planned an All Parties Conference (APC) to press for accountability and dialogue. For ordinary Pakistanis, rising prices mean higher transport costs and tighter household budgets in 2026 (Geo.tv).
