      <title>Pakistani Twitter responds to PTI govt's new "petrol bomb"
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30269321/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's no surprise that Pakistani social media users have taken to Twitter to decry the "petrol bomb" dropped on Saturday.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They were responding to the notification issued by the Ministry of Finance on Saturday which announced a massive hike in petroleum prices, increasing Rs10.49 per litre on petrol and Rs12.44 per litre on high speed diesel.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They're choosing to express their anger in creative ways, using a video, for example, of Bilawal Bhutto to critique the situation. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/iamhmmad1/status/1449241335442051073"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They're also publishing old videos of Imran talking about rising costs before he was prime minister. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/NaumanIShaikh/status/1449244994800431104"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The creativity which reflects Pakistanis' unique sense of humor was on full display on Saturday in the choice of video content that users were uploading. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/tayyabrajput41/status/1449246746396200962"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some imagined what owners of petrol pumps must be feeling. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/awais7724/status/1449252059270852609"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A scroll through the top trend of Petrol Price shows the growing anger towards the prime minister and his supporters. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/anoosha_ashfaq/status/1449235250849198083"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another trend disparaging the prime minister saw the same anger.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ambrinmaria/status/1449247824298844164"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The amount of  Rs10.49 was also trending on Twitter. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/pabloecobar_/status/1449237080668884997"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
