Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Accountability Mirza Shahzad Akbar has said that report of the inquiry commission formed on sugar crisis came in short period of time and it was very historic that a commission formed on a certain issue in the country.
Addressing a press conference here, he said that the commission was formed under Commission's of Inquiry Act 2017. He said that the Prime Minister made the report public as per the promise. Shahzad Akbar said that PML-N was trying to misguide people or either they didn't want to understand what this report reveals.
Commenting on Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's press conference, Shahzad Akbar said that Khaqan Abbasi had told complete lie.
He said that Shahid Khaqan said that commission had to determine why sugar prices got increased, and prices surged due to permission of sugar export. Akbar said that commission had 12 to 13 terms of references (TORs) and they had to answer all those. Why sugar prices raised was one TOR, he maintained. He said that if Khaqan had read the commission's report, then he would not have said that sugar prices surged due to permission given for its export. He said that in para number 231 on page number 71 in the commission's report, it was clearly mentioned that when sugar export permission was granted in 2018-19, sufficient sugar stock was available in the country. He said permission was given to export the surplus stock. He said, "Commission's report is saying that sugar prices surged due to market manipulation."
