The Pakistan Kissan Ittehad (PKI) has announced to once again stage a demonstration in the federal capital on August 7, 2017, if the government failed to get dues of the sugarcane farmers cleared by that time outstanding against the sugar millers. The PKI claimed that sugar millers had to pay Rs 32 billion of sugarcane growers and the government was not allowing 2 million tons of sugar which could enable the millers to clear growers' dues. This was announced by PKI Central President Khalid Mahmood Khokhar while addressing a press conference at the Lahore Press Club (LPC) here on Thursday. He also claimed that the agriculture was totally being ignored by the present government and nothing special was allocated for the agriculture in budget 2017-18.
