Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) senior leader Nayyar Hussain Bukhari on Monday demanded the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) inquiry into wheat import scam. PPP Secretary-General Nayyar Hussain Bukhari in his statement stated import of wheat despite surplus stock in Pakistan, caused a loss of billions of rupees to the national exchequer.
The PPP leader urged the NAB to initiate an inquiry into the wheat scam and present the facts before the nation. Commenting on the PML-N’s invitation to PPP to join the federal government, Bukhari said his party is committed to supporting the PML-N-led government in the Parliament without being part of the government. However, he said the final decision regarding joining the cabinet will be taken by the PPP’s CEC. Read more: Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar diminishes wheat scandal as ‘Storm in Teacup’.—APP
