A fact-checking organisation has found truth in Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari`s statement that petrol prices in the country have reached an all-time high. Last month, Opposition leader Bilawal Bhutto had criticised Imran Khan`s government for the high petrol prices.
He had said: "Today, petrol prices are at an all-time high." Now, an independent think tank, the Pakistan Institute of Legislative Development and Transparency (PILDAT), has found the statement to be true.
