Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President Navjot Singh Sidhu has hit out at the Centre over "skyrocketing prices" of fuel prices and said that the inflation has been unjustified and unfair to its people causing distress to the people.

"Petrol/diesel has increased from Rs 50 to Rs 100, LPG cylinder has increased from Rs 400 to Rs 900, dal prices have doubled in last 5 years, edible oil prices have increased by over 5 times, but have wages of daily labourers increased?" he asked.
