Sindh Minister for Information Labor Saeed Ghani has said that the irresponsible behavior of federal ministers over the wheat flour crisis was highly condemnable.

He said that if the federal government was not able to resolve the wheat flour crisis immediately, its ministers should not have given such irresponsible statements. Talking to journalists here on Monday, Saeed Ghani said that if the wheat flour crisis persisted only in Sindh, then the provincial government could had been blamed, but it was foolish to declare the Sindh government responsible for the wheat flour crisis all over the country.

The Provincial Minister for information said that he had already informed that the transporters' strike was the only reason of the wheat flour crisis in Sindh, adding that as the transporters' had ended their strike the crisis would be resolved soon. He said that 4 lakh tonnes of wheat was to be transported in Sindh province, but only one lakh ton of wheat could be supplied due to strike of the transporters.

He said that more than one lakh bags of wheat had arrived in Sindh, while the remaining bags would also reached the province soon through the NLC, after which there would be no crisis of wheat in Sindh. He said that wheat flour crisis in Punjab was caused by incompetency and mismanagement of Punjab government. He said that the wheat which was for the people of Punjab continued to be sent to the seed factories as well as to the provinces and KP and Balochistan.

Saeed Ghani said that if PTI leaders were demanding the resignation of the Sindh government over the flour crisis in Sindh or if they said that the chief minister should be punished over it, then first the Prime Minister should be held accountable and resign for making people suffer all over the country.

Responding to a question, he said that people who visited health facilities in Sindh could be asked how much comfort they were feeling in receiving treatment in these health facilities, only then it should be decided that whether these health facilities should be returned to the federal government or not.
