00:00 And the news is that new facts have emerged in the investigation of the wheat revenue scandal.
00:05 On the refusal of the Punjab government, Wifaaq imported 8.5 lakh tonnes of wheat.
00:11 Secretary of Food, Punjab's Secretary of National Food Security has received a letter.
00:16 We will talk about it. Mazhar Iqbal is with us. Mazhar, tell us about this.
00:20 New facts are emerging in the wheat import scandal every day.
00:25 On the refusal of the Punjab government, Wifaaq imported 8.5 lakh tonnes of wheat.
00:31 On 25th March, 24th, a letter was written from the Secretary of Food, Punjab.
00:36 It said that the import of 26 lakh tonnes of wheat should be stopped.
00:43 Because, till now, 34.5 lakh tonnes of wheat has been imported.
00:47 It was also said in the letter that the wheat production in Punjab has increased from 1 crore 60 lakh acres to 1 crore 74 lakh acres.
00:55 The wheat production has increased from 2 crore 13 lakh acres to 2 crore 42 lakh acres.
01:00 And the import has continued.
01:02 Not only will the wheat be surplus in the market, but the farmers will also be affected.
01:06 So, no one took any action on this letter.
01:09 But one thing that has come to light is that the Punjab government has made a significant mark on the wheat import.
01:16 On 31st March, the Punjab government raised this objection six days before the last ship arrived.
01:22 And on 26 lakh tonnes of wheat import, Punjab wrote a letter to the Secretary of National Food Security to stop the import.
01:29 Punjab wrote the letter, but wrote the letter very late when the wheat had arrived in Pakistan.
01:34 Thank you.
