Senior Food Minister Punjab Abdul Aleem Khan said that regarding wheat and flour prices in the province we are also planning for long term stabilization and for the next few years, Government procurement of wheat, quotas for flour mills and other mechanisms will be changed in such a way as to increase the competitiveness in the market and flour mills to work along with banks to ensure the supply of wheat and flour to the citizens.

Meanwhile, Senior Punjab Minister Abdul Aleem Khan has said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has promoted positive trends in the country’s politics and for the first time in the country’s history, advisers have placed their assets before the nation. In his tweet, Abdul Aleem Khan said that in the past coming into Government meant creating wealth and increasing personal assets and no one had the moral courage to hold the rulers accountable for their wealth and possessions. Abdul Aleem Khan said that every aspect of the present national leadership is like an open book.

Prime Minister Imran Khan has set a new trend in Pakistan’s political history with his 22-year struggle. Abdul Aleem Khan said that the opposition should openly praise the good deeds of the present Government. If all this had happened earlier, the corruption graph would not have reached this point nor would these circumstances be in the country, Abdul Aleem Khan concluded.
