Wheat, sugar crises: PM decides to act on reports

Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Sunday that action would be taken against those involved in the wheat and sugar crisis in the country in the light of forensic reports of the high-powered commission.
The prime minister a day after making the reports on wheat and sugar crisis public, tweeted "I await the detailed forensic reports now by the high-powered commission, which will come out on 25 April, before taking action. After these reports come out no powerful lobby will be able to profiteer at the expense of our public".
He said as promised preliminary reports into sudden price hikes of sugar and wheat have been released immediately without alteration/tampering.
This is unprecedented in Pakistan 's history. Previous political leadership because of their vested interests and compromises lacked moral courage to order and release such reports, added prime minister. The reports on wheat and sugar held responsible some key leaders of the present government for the wheat and sugar crisis.
