Inquiry committee holds four officers responsible for wheat import scandal

ISLAMABAD – The inquiry committee, established to investigate the wheat import scandal, has recommended action against four officers of the Federal Ministry of National Food Security & Research in its findings presented to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Not surprisingly, the inquiry committee did not recommend action against any of the important officers/officials of the caretaker set-up, nor did it find anyone responsible for the fatal mistake. Earlier this year, the caretakers had imported 3.612 million tonnes of wheat from Ukraine in anticipation of shortages. The action had led to a full-blown crisis in the country as the wheat crop harvesting season began, with farmers compelled to sell their crops well below the government-set support price of Rs3,900/40kg.

As the wheat procurement drive did not kick off, farmers were compelled to take to the streets to protest against what they perceived as government indifference to their plight.
