Lahore : Jamaat-e-Islami Deputy Emir Liaqat Baloch has expressed surprise over the delay in action against the elements involved in sugar scandal and mismanagement in the country.
In a statement issued from Mansoora on Wednesday, he said over 15 days were passed that the report of report of Sugar Inquiry Commission became public but the government was using delaying tactics to implement its recommendation. He held the prime minister and Punjab chief minister responsible for letting the sugar mafia roaming free and fearless.
The reason behind their silence, added Baloch, was that those who sanctioned subsidies to sugar mills were part of three ruling parties—the PTI, the PML-N and the PPP—he added.
He also lamented the absence of full time foreign minister in the country which, he said, was main reason behind the destruction of economy.
Baloch expressed regret on the situation of Indian Occupied Kashmir and criminal silence of international community over the grave human rights violation in the held valley. He said America, Israel and India had turned Afghanistan a center of their conspiracies.
