Farmers At Wits’ End, Govt Missing – Shehbaz

ISLAMABAD: PMLN President and National Assembly Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif has lashed out at the PTI government for being totally missing in action while the condition of Pakistani farmers grows more and more pitiable and miserable due to fertilizer crisis.

In a statement, Shehbaz said the people who provide food to the people are crying out for help like the victims of Murree while the government was nowhere to be seen. The entire country will face food shortages and agricultural products if the farmers were not helped immediately, he warned. Even at insanely high price, Urea was not available to farmers as it had disappeared just like flour, sugar and gas under this PTI regime, he said. It would be better to provide emergency assistance to the farmers and ensure supply of urea later than to form a commission and make excuses, he suggested.
