He said that the people of Sindh have been deprived of basic necessities like gas. We have expressed serious concerns in the assemblies over the gas crisis. Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has raised the issue in the meetings held at the federal level.

Sindh is the largest gas producing province, according to the constitution, Sindh should get its share of gas. Give it to other provinces too, we don’t mind we are all Pakistanis and the whole country is ours, but first give due share where it is being produced.

In response to question on the wheat crisis, he said that the wheat crisis was all over the country but Sindh government was being blamed for it which is injustice. He said that Punjab produces more wheat than Sindh. Where did it go? He said that if flour was scarce in Punjab, KPK, Balochistan and other parts of country, the government could not be blamed for it.

The federal government had granted permission to export quality wheat produced in Sindh and Punjab and later when crises immerged, they imported substandard wheat at high prices which was not even edible.

While in Punjab, the government has fixed Rs.1,800 per mann, which has paved the way for smuggling of wheat.

The Provincial Minister predicted severe wheat crisis next season.
