ISLAMABAD: Sugar prices increasing day by day acrross the country while late night Imran Khan government has increased petrolium prices, the leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif, while criticising Prime Minister Imran Khan, said that the country is undergoing a sugar crisis because the current stock of the sweetener would only last 15 more days.
“[Despite the crisis], the PM has nothing better to do than rendering lip services through his speeches,” Shahbaz said referring to the premier’s address to the nation a day ago.
He said that the price of sugar increased by Rs5 per kilogram, taking the rate in the wholesale market beyond Rs130 per kg.
