The government has been acting in haste ever since it assumed office, taking U-turns shortly after announcing major policy decisions. There are numerous examples of such faux pas with the recent one being deciding against a hike in gas prices. The government had on September 5 announced a 46 per cent increase in gas prices in order to finance the deficit the department is facing. Reportedly, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah had sent a letter telling the federal government that revising gas prices does not fall in its jurisdiction. It was after this that the PTI government decided to halt the increase in gas prices for now.
