If you go through the report , it will make you crystal clear as to who was who in the oil crises . The oil crises also gives a glimpse as to how mafias operate in Pakistan to fleece end consumers and make undue or windfall profit. It also establishes that every character of the oil crises made fun of the law of the land by creating artificial oil shortage.
The role of the oil marketing companies (OMCs) in the oil crises simply gives a clear message to every one in this country that the mafias are only for their profit, no matter how it comes and not to be a responsible corporate citizen and hence gives damn to any authority or rule of law. The role of the concerned authorities ,in particular , Petroleum secretary , director general Oil, Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) chairman, is shameful. These senior government officials, instead performing duty honestly, colluded with rogue oil marketing companies for probably their petty interest. These officials , in fact, permitted these rogue oil marketimg companies to make fun of Pakistan’s law by stopping supply of oil to the market when the prices had comparatively less profit margin.

Since the matter is now with rhe federal cabinet, one can hope that PTI government will make this ugly act of oil marketing companies the last and final by giving examplary punishment to all characters of the crises. There is great need to investigate the role of Nadeem Babar, special assistance to the prime minister, in the oil crises.. it should also be checked as to who managed to get appointed a vitinery doctor as director general Oil in the ministry of Petroleum.
