Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Karachi chief Khurrum Sher Zaman said that the Sindh government wanted to cause a shortage of sugar in the country after the wheat crisis.
Khurrum Sher Zaman said in a statement that the Sindh government has deliberately delayed the procurement of wheat and now it showed negligence on sugar crushing.
He termed it the ineligibility of the Sindh government for not starting the crushing in the season. He alleged that four major sugar mills in Sindh are closed.
He further slammed the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) for using the constitution and the courts for negative politics.
Zaman said that PPP is now affecting the Balochistan province alongside Sindh. He asked the Sindh government’s spokesperson to begin a crackdown against the mafia instead of political point-scoring.
The PTI leader said that inflation has hit the whole world but the opposition in those countries was not telling lies to their nationals.
Earlier in the day, the Sindh government spokesperson Murtaza Wahab has blamed the federal government for throwing the burden on the Sindh government for its own incompetence.
He said that the Sindh government is ready to support the ‘ineligible’ federal government for opening the three sugar mills.
He said that the situation would be different if those spotted in the sugar commission report were penalised.
