Karachi: All Pakistan Oil Tankers Owners Association (APOTOA) has warned that if Sindh government does not withdraw its decision about banning the entrance of oil tankers into Karachi, they will not only suspend the supply of oil all over the country but would also hold sit-in protest in front of Bilawal House.
In a statement, issued on Saturday, APOTOA office bearers said that this was decided during APOTOA’s meeting which was held in Karachi and was presided by Mir Yousuf Shahwani and in another meeting that held in Punjab and was presided by Mir Yousuf Shahwani.
“Chief Minister Sindh had issued orders on Friday that oil tankers will not be allowed to enter into Karachi and they would be parked at Zulfikarabad, but that is surprising, we have around 3000 oil tankers across Pakistan and all the oil depots are in Shireen Jinnah Colony where we have get the oil from, tankers have to enter into the city to reach Shireen Jinnah Colony,” said Shahwani.
He demanded of the Sindh government to withdraw its decision and allow the oil tankers to enter into the city. “Otherwise, we will go into a strike and would suspend oil supply across Pakistan,” Shahwani warned. He said that this decision is a conspiracy against the federal government.
He warned that if the decision is not withdrawn in next 72 hours, they will not only go on strike but would also hold a sit-in in front of Bilawal House.
