KP Adviser Slams Federal Government Over Wheat Crisis

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Finance Adviser Muzammil Aslam has accused the federal government of concealing facts about dwindling wheat stocks and failing to address rising food inflation.

The adviser claimed that the country's wheat crisis had become more severe than the fuel crisis, with wheat prices increasing by 6.75% in July alone and by 77% over the past year.

Aslam also questioned how wheat stocks had disappeared within months of the harvesting season and called for an explanation of whether the production figures released by the federal and provincial governments were accurate.
