Government's negligence will lead to worst wheat crisis says Ahsan Iqbal

Senior Leader of Pakistan Muslim League-N (PMLN) Ahsan Iqbal stated on Saturday, that the government has no explanation over the shortness in State Bank Law (SBL) and the government’s negligence will lead to the worst wheat crisis.

In a press conference along with Ayaz Sadiq the PMLN Leader said that, “With the approval of bill, State Bank (SB) will not remain answerable to the government. Now a governor will be able to carry on for even 10 years, all of it has been done to end the foreign funding case,” adding that SB has been turned into a slave of IMF. Tenure of the Chairman of Higher Education Commission has been reduced from 4 years to 2 years.

“13 January has marked to be a dark day in history of the country. Finance Minister presented the bill but he was unable to answer the queries of opposition. A person who has failed as the finance minister was attending to the questions raised by opposition,” said Mr. Ahsan. He further added that the government has completely ruined energy sector, all the houses and workshops struggling with the non-availability of gas serve as a proof of their incompetence.

The PMLN Leader went on saying that, “The people responsible for gas crisis were lecturing today and pointing out faults in previous government in the fourth year of their rule.”

While accusing that the fertilizers were smuggled and being sold in black under the supervision of government, Ahsan Iqbal said that, “Mafias have evolved in fertilizers, medicine and every other domain while according to them the excessive use of fertilizers by farmers is the cause of its crisis. All the fertilizer has been smuggled to another country. The government’s negligence will lead to the worst wheat crisis.”
