Actually, its a duty of every citizen to ask reasonable things. As for truth we also have to participate in this strike. They r hiking fuel prices for every hike r crisis for oil when barrel is for Rs150, Now its came down to Rs30. but they reduced Rs 5 for petrol and Rs 3 to diesel. they hiked nearly 5 times by telling the reason of oil crisis. But reduced only a small amount of money. What a justice is this, its a shame to our nation exploiting people .
