Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Tuesday directed indiscriminate action against the elements involved in the artificial flour crisis and unjust increase in the rate of flour. He directed all-out measures should be taken to stabilize flour price and officers concerned should visit commercial areas to monitor the field situation.
Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar was talking with Senior and Food Minister Abdul Aleem Khan who called on him at his office. They discussed the availability of wheat and flour in the province.
The chief minister termed the opposition parties’ APC a failed drama, which has again proved that the opposition only wants to protect its personal interests. “The opposition’s APC has ended in a fiasco and the opposition parties have totally ignored the national interests,” he regretted.
The CM emphasized that looters cannot hoodwink the people through their APC drama as the masses are fully aware of the corrupt elements. The rejected elements cannot deceive the conscientious people, he added.
On the occasion, Abdul Aleem Khan stated that the food department is ensuring suitable supply of flour and different steps are taken to ensure its availability at the notified rate. The food department officials are also monitoring the price of flour, he added. The negative politics of the opposition has been exposed through APC and their residual credibility has also ended, he added.
