Hi
!
Petrol costs less than the
Indian equivalent of Rs 20 per litre in Pakistan,
Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Malaysia, but Rs 65 per
litre in India. Why? Crude oil price in the world market is not the
reason for such high prices in India. The reason lies in our
own Govt's policies and the perpetual thirst of the three public
sector undertaking oil companies, viz. Indian Oil Corporation,
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation and Bharat Petroleum Corporation.
Subsidy and all that is pure rubbish.
Expecting the Govt to step in and control the
fuel prices is like expecting a bull to give milk! The Govt is
in fact forcing the airlines, shipping companies and truck
companies to raise their prices to justify the fuel price
hikes. That has a spiralling effect on the prices of other
commodities. Who pays all those prices in the end? I do, you
do, we all common people do!
What happened to the price control promised by
the Arab countries two weeks ago? Nothing happened, and nothing will
happen. We Indians cannot tackle the world market or the Arabs. But
we can tackle our own Govt and the PSU oil companies!
Here is how >>>
If Indian citizens do
not purchases any petrol or diesel for one whole day, all
at the same time, oil companies will choke on their
stock-piles. This would hit the Govt and the oil companies
very hard and it would also shake the foundations of the oil
companies. Their combined daily take exceeds 4 billion, just
in case you wondered "how hard".
So, if you own
a two-wheeler, a three-wheeler, a car, a tempo, a bus, a
truck, a tractor or maybe even a private jet. . . , please do not buy a single drop of fuel on 14 Feb
2011. Yes, that is the date selected by like-minded citizens
as "stick-it-up-their-ass" day. 14 Feb
2011. It is bound to yield some positive results. We can always
give the Govt a repeat performance if required, can't
we?
So, please
remember 14 Feb 2011, and please fwd this mail to all your
friends. You do fwd mails, don't you? So why not this one? At least
it is for a good cause!
