ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz on Monday said the Sindh government was responsible for the present rise in flour prices as it was not releasing its share of wheat in the market. Addressing a press conference along with Minister for Food Security Syed Fakhar Imam, the minister said that an impression was being given in the market that flour prices were rising. The minister said Punjab and Sindh had higher wheat production but the Sindh government had created a situation that was forcing the people of the province to buy expensive wheat. He said most of the people in rural Sindh suffered from malnutrition as the Sindh government did nothing for the well-being of its people. He said the rains in Karachi had also exposed the poor performance of the Sindh government.
