The ‘fallen out of favour’ Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) stalwart, Jahangir Khan Tareen, returned to Pakistan on Friday after spending about seven months in the United Kingdom. The sugar baron had left the country soon after the PTI-led government made its ‘much famed’ inquiry report on the country’s sugar crisis public. In its 32-page report, the committee on the sugar price hike had termed PTI government’s decision to allow export of sugar unjustified as it caused a 30% increase in its price. The committee report had revealed that Tareen and PTI's then Federal Minister for National Food Security Makhdoom Khusro Bakhtiar were among the main beneficiaries. Let me state for the record that JDW is NOT part of the petition against GOPb notification to start sugar Mills on 10th Nov. All of my mills, including those in Sind will start crushing on 10th.
