Nayyar Bukhari demands NAB investigation into wheat import scandal
The PPP senior leader says the import of wheat despite an ample domestic stock inflicted substantial financial losses on the national treasury.
Islamabad: Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) senior leader Nayyar Hussain Bukhari said that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) should investigate the wheat import scandal.
Nayyar Bukhari said that the import of wheat despite an ample domestic stock inflicted substantial financial losses on the national treasury.
He conveyed this demand through an official statement, emphasizing the necessity of transparency and accountability in handling such issues.
Regarding the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's (PML-N) proposal for PPP to participate in the federal government, Bukhari clarified that while his party is dedicated to supporting the PML-N-led government in Parliament, the decision to join the cabinet rests with the PPP's Central Executive Committee (CEC).
Former interim Prime Minister Anwarul Haq Kakar, in a recent interview with a local private television channel, downplayed the significance of the wheat import controversy, characterizing it as a trivial matter.
Kakar stressed the importance of comprehending the intricacies of the wheat import process and highlighted government initiatives aimed at conserving tax revenue, facilitating private-sector wheat transactions, and generating income through import tariffs.
