The Petrol Prices in Pakistan are expected to rise drastically as the Prime Minister Imran Khan has been overthrown by an anti-corruption vote, while most of the PTI members have resigned from their positions. The final decision about the petrol prices will now be made by the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Opposition-challenged government.
