Sindh Minister for Information, Local Government, Housing and Town Planning, Religious Affairs, Forest and Wildlife Syed Nasir Hussain Shah has said that the purpose of the sugar probe commission set up by the Prime Minister Imran Khan is to find out how the price of sugar went up.
The Minister said that it was surprising that the price of the sugar was around Rs. 50 to Rs. 53 in the time of the people labelled constantly by the leaders of PTI as thieves and looters, while in the time of these angels the price went up as much as Rs. 80 to Rs. 83. He said that the sugar probe commission headed by Mr. Wajid Zia had exposed the angels.
Syed Nasir Hussain said that according to the report of sugar probe commission, one of the major factors in sudden increase of the price of sugar was to allow its export. He said that about one million tonnes of sugar was allowed to be exported, which gave rise to the price of the sugar in the country.
The provincial minister said that the report of the same sugar probe commission stated that the permission to export sugar was given by the Prime Minister himself, adding that, he was signatory to this permission.
