According to the statement, "the unqualified, incompetent and corrupt bunch of friends' of the prime minister are responsible for the situation which has seen the price of wheat and sugar increase drastically.
“Thieving by [PM] Imran Khan and his friends has made Jahangir Tareen the richest man in the country while making the country more expensive and the people poorer," it stated while calling for a review of the financial records of the mills owned by Tareen and Bakhtiar.
The PML-N spokesperson questioned the government's reluctance to carry out an investigation despite being sure 'they didn't steal anything'.
She also pointed out the government's failure to disclose how much sugar was hoarded in the sugar mills of influential people within the ranks of the government.
“How much sugar has been recovered from the Tareen’s and Bakhtiar’s sugar mills? It has been 24 hours and they have not been interrogated,” the PML-N spokesperson added.
