Fake letter is attempt to destroy economy: PPA

Pakistan Poultry Association (Northern Region) Vice Chairman Ch Fargham, in a press briefing, said that Pakistan Poultry Association draws the attention of honourable prime minister towards the deliberate attempt to destroy the economy of Pakistan.
The fake letter circulated on the letterhead of the Health Department, Government of Punjab, is a deliberate attempt to destroy the agro economy of Pakistan. Poultry farming consumes over 10 million tons of agro residues, which includes items like wheat bran, rice tips, rice bran, rice polishing, corn, molasses, oilseed residues, meat by-products, etc.
If the poultry industry collapses, the entire agro economy including the agro based industries would collapse because the cost of principal food items like edible oil, sugar, wheat flour would increase substantially resulting into skyrocketing prices. Alternatively, the government will have to give huge amount of subsidies to ensure that the production of principal food items continues.
Poultry sector consumes more than 60% of oil residues in the form of oilseed meals and cakes. Almost 70% of solvent extraction units’ residues are consumed by poultry sector. The solvent extraction industry would also collapse completely.
There is an advocate, Nadeem Sarwar in Lahore spreading this news and could be a good source to find out as to where did he learn that coronavirus exits in poultry.
Incidentally, there is another veterinary doctor Dr Arshad, who is spreading the false information that large scale farming is responsible for all diseases in human beings and is advocating that there should only be small farms and he is also propagating that in future there will be a pandemic which will destroy half the population of world, while suggesting a solution that small scale farming should be encouraged.
It may be noted that all over the world, poultry farming, cattle farming and dairy farming are based on intensive farming sectors as the growing population requirements have to be met by intensive farming and not by small farms.
Considering the seriousness this matter deserves, we suggest that Prime Minister Imran Khan may kindly take personal notice about this extremely damaging propaganda against the interest of national economy and direct an in-depth investigation by cybercrime, ISI, Army Intelligence as it is quite possible that the enemy country seeing that poultry industry in Pakistan is thriving resulting in flourishing of Pakistan’s agro economy, may be making endeavors to destroy it.
