Sindh Minister for Information Saeed Ghani has said that the irresponsible behavior of
federal ministers over the wheat flour crisis was highly condemnable.He said that if the federal
government was not able to resolve the wheat flour crisis immediately, its ministers should not had
given non serious statements. He said this while talking to journalists on Monday. Ghani said that if the
wheat flour crisis persisted only in Sindh, then the Sindh government could had been blamed, but it was
foolish to declare the Sindh government responsible for the wheat flour crisis all over the country.The
minister said that he had already informed that the transporters' strike was the only reason of the
wheat flour crisis in Sindh, adding that as the transporters' had ended their strike the crisis would be
resolved soon. He said that 4 lakh tonnes of wheat was to be transported in Sindh province, but only
one lakh tonne of wheat could be supplied due to strike of the transporters.Ghani said that more than
one lakh bags of wheat had arrived in Sindh, while the remaining bags would also reached the province
soon through the NLC, after which there would be no crisis of wheat in Sindh. Provincial Minister for
Information said that wheat flour crisis in Punjab was caused by incompetency and mismanagement of
Punjab government.He said that the wheat which was for the people of Punjab continued to be sent to
the seed factories as well as to the provinces and KPK and Balochistan. Saeed Ghani said that if PTI
leaders were demanding the resignation of the Sindh government over the flour crisis in Sindh or if they
said that the chief minister should be punished over it, then first the Prime Minister should be held
accountable and resign for making people suffer all over the country.Responding to a question, Sindh
Minister for Information Saeed Ghani said that people who visited health facilities in Sindh could be
asked how much comfort they were feeling in receiving treatment in these health facilities, only then it
should be decided that whether these health facilities should be returned to the federal government or
not.
